Opis

In this work, the authors elucidate the dynamics of particles and bubbles in flotation, particle-bubble encounter interaction, and particle-bubble attachment interaction.

Recenzje

“This new book is recommended to our many readers interested in colloid science, especially the fundamentals of separation and concentration of colloidal particles. The book begins with a very useful three-tier table of contents, containing eight parts, each consisting of one or more chapters organized into a series of subcategories. … The book is well written, illustrated, and organized. Symbols appearing in the equations are defined at the end of each chapter. There are about 800 references and thorough subject index. ”
