Fine particle agglomeration in process slurries

Summary

In this study zeta potentials in high sulfide pulp densities at high ionic strengths were measured for the first time.

Fine particle agglomeration of solids including pyrite, chalcopyrite, pentlandite, quartz and iron oxide were studied to identify the conditions that could increase agglomeration.
