THE FLOTATION PROCESS (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from The Flotation ProcessThis book has been prepared to meet the need of the hour. Flota tion is engaging the attention of a rapidly increasing number of metallurgists, mill-men, and mine-owners. Information on the subject is lat-king. The. Only book heretofore issued was written four years ago, and is now out of date. In 1912 the flotation process had hardly won a foothold in the United States, today fully tons of ore is being treated daily by the frothing or bubble-levitation method. In July 1915 the Mining and Scientific Press began to publish a series of articles describing current progress in this new branch of metallurgy. These were followed by a number of interesting contributions on the theory of the subject. All of them are reproduced in this volume. They claim no finality. The physics of flotation is still a riddle nu solved, but the beginnings of investigation have been made. In the pages that follow will be found the rudiments of a connected theory explaining the phenomena underlying the life and activity of the metallurgic bubble.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
