Research Assistant Professor


Research Interests
Phosphate flotation, hard-water foaming agents for gypsum board production, fly ash polymerization


Flotation

Flotation

Froth is generated on the top of a flotation cell during the processing of ore containing platinum- and palladium-bearing minerals. Flotation concentrates hydrophobic particles from hydrophilic ones.
