Interfacial Separation of Particles

S. Lu, R.J. Pugh, E. Forssberg, Interfacial Separation of Particles, in: Studies in Interface Science, Vol. 20, D. Mobius and R. Miller (Editors), Elsevier, Amsterdam (2004) p.706.This book is a comprehensive collection of the many and varied topics in fundamental science that explain the key mineral processing operations of dispersion, flocculation, magnetic separation and flotation. This book will be of primary interest to the researcher, rather than the operator or the undergraduate student. The nature of the book is that of a comprehensive review; it is not a book where understanding is developed from first principles. Postgraduates, academics and professional researchers should find it an essential starting point for any research to do with dispersing, aggregating and separating particles in aqueous suspensions. The audience should be much wider than minerals and energy and might also include pharmacy, environmental science, chemical industry and biotechnology.Содержание:Surface Properties of Particles.
