Effects of nanobubbles in column flotation of Chinese sub-bituminous coal

Fangyuan Ma et al.

Summary: The effects of nanobubbles on fine coal column flotation and the underlying mechanisms were investigated. The use of nanobubbles significantly improved the efficiency of column flotation for fine coal particles.

Nanobubble-enhanced flotation of ultrafine molybdenite and the associated mechanism

Xun Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of particle size on the flotation behavior of molybdenite and addresses the low recovery of ultrafine molybdenite. By introducing nanobubbles (NBs) to promote flotation efficiency, the study reveals that NBs significantly enhance the recovery of ultrafine molybdenite. The mechanism behind the enhancement is attributed to the attachment of NBs to the mineral surface, reducing repulsive forces and enhancing hydrophobicity, leading to improved bubble-particle collision and attachment.
