Flotation '09
November 9-12, 2009
Cape Town, South Africa

MEI’s 4th International Flotation Conference (Flotation 09) is sponsored by SNF Flomin, FLSmidth Minerals, JKTech, Maelgwyn Mineral Services & The Gold & Minerlas Gazette and features 2 discrete symposia:

November 9-10: Flotation Fundamentals: Physics and Chemistry

Although now over a hundred years old, the fundamental aspects of flotation are still being intensively researched, and new machines developed. This two day symposium will focus on:

• Fundamental reagent and flotation chemistry
• Bubbles, froths, bubble-particle interactions
• Flotation cell hydrodynamics, kinetics and scale-up

November 11-12: Flotation Applications and Plant Practice

This two day symposium focuses on the application of flotation, and will include sessions on:

• Plant Operations, particularly related to new technology, and process mineralogy problems
• Flotation Circuits, and their modelling, simulation, control and optimisation
• Flotation machine developments
• Metallic, non-metallic and coal flotation
• Environmental considerations
