The Centenary of Flotation Symposium Proceedings, initiated from the symposium held in 2005, celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the introduction of the froth flotation process in the minerals industry.
The papers contained in these proceedings come from leading authorities on flotation from across the globe, who share their knowledge on the developments that have taken place since the inception of this revolutionary process and its potential for future application. The publication includes over 140 technical papers from twenty-seven countries.
The papers cover the full range of interests including sulfides and non-sulfides, fundamentals, simulation and control of the most widely used method of mineral extraction in the world.
