    Flotation control using froth stability: past, present and future

    By 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
