摘要
Ultrasonic treatment is widely used for surface cleaning during physical, chemical and physico-chemical processes in mineral processing. Several research papers and a few industrial applications about the subject suggest that the mechanism behind the positive effect of ultrasound for mineral processing and especially flotation is due to formation of cavitation by ultrasonic energy. Within this study, coal floatability is investigated by use of a specially designed flotation cell equipped with ultrasound transducers with different power, frequency and geometry. The results indicate that ultrasonic treatment during coal flotation positively affects the quality and quantity of the properties of floated coals while using of lesser amounts of reagent than a conventional flotation system.
