APPliCATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF FROTH FLOTATION …
Froth flotation for beneficiation of electronic waste is envisaged to be a promising technique for the fine fraction. In the present work, beneficiation of ground 1.0 mm pulverized computer scrap powder was investigated through flotation route by varying the operating variables such as froth er dosage, pulp density, air flow rate and rotational speed of the impeller.
