Flotation control using froth stability: past, present and futureBy C Smith, J Cilliers, K Hadler
Unstable flotation froths, that burst before they overflow, produce no concentrate. Increasing the froth stability to improve recovery is therefore an obvious control strategy. Froth stability can be

Effect of pebbles on collisional environment in a ball mill using composite media (balls/pebbles)By S Nkwanyana, I Govender
Batch experiments in a 0.6 m diameter mill have shown that improvements of about 13 per cent in the efficiency of energy utilisation can be realised in ball mills by replacing 25 per cent of the ball
