00:03:50 Abstract
00:03:55 Obligatory opening quotation
00:04:35 VIDEO: Ultramafic Nickel Ore Flotation-video
00:04:35 Industries
00:05:35 Synopsis of the Science
00:06:59 Ever wondered about the Golden Fleece?
00:07:38 History
00:08:43 Elmore process
00:10:03 Elmore process
00:10:28 Elmore patents

00:16:01 The overall system
00:16:53 Bulk and surface effects….
00:17:32 Chemicals involved in flotation
00:19:19 General plot of recovery against size
00:20:13 Particle size, collector, and frother
00:21:07 Frother
00:21:49 Collector
00:23:37 “Interaction” between the collector and mineral
00:25:13 Idealized situation – it’s all about the surface
00:26:10 The importance of locked particles
00:27:38 “Hydrophobic”/”hydrophillic”
00:28:04 Contact angleGaudin pp 340, 341, 355Note: “After Wark”
00:28:50 Contact angle (Klimpel page 11)Note: we now have ‘coal’ as the surface not galena
00:29:41 Xanthates of higher molecular mass give better recoveries
00:30:21 This relates to the contact angles
00:31:03 Direct measure of interaction - AFM
