Flotation Kinetics

Flotation kinetics is the study of how recovery of minerals from ore changes over time during flotation. The Garcia-Zuniga model, introduced in 1935, describes recovery as a first-order kinetic process with rate constant k and maximum recoverable fraction R∞. This simple model underpins flotation cell design and process optimization, enabling engineers to predict flotation performance from batch tests and scale results to industrial circuits.
