摘要
Measurement of bubble size in industrial flotation cells is now often accomplished using the sampling-for-imaging technique. Operation calls for frother in the viewing chamber. In this communication the impact of frother concentration in the chamber is examined. A concentration in excess of the system CCC (critical coalescence concentration) is recommended for field work.
