Reagents in Mineral Technology provides comprehensive coverage of both basic as well asapplied aspects of reagents utilized in the minerals industry. This outstanding single-source reference opens with an explicit account of flotation fundamentalsincluding coverage of wetting phenomena mineral/water interfacial phenomena flo tationchemistry and flocculation and dispersion of mineral suspensions. It then discusses flotation of sulfide and nonsulfide minerals with attention to formation ofclithiolates formation of metal thiol compounds application of fatty acids sulfosuccinic acidsamines and other collectors. Reagents in Mineral Technology also reviews adsorption of surfactants on minerals. details adsorption of polymers. and considers the chemistry and application of chelation agentsin minerals separations. Additional chapters consider grinding aids frothers inorganic and polymeric depressantsdewatering and filtering aids analytical techniques and much more. Unique in its depth of coverage Reagents in Mineral Technology will prove an invaluablereference for mineral engineers and processors; analytical surface colloid and physical chemists;petroleum petrochemical metallurgical and mining engineers; and for use in advancedundergraduate- and graduate-level courses in these and related fields.
