The behaviour of free gold particles in a simulated flash flotation
Gold from two sources was floated according to the free gold flash flotation test developed by McGrath et al. (2013), with PAX addition and gold type being the only variables. As noted in the results, the superficial gas velocity (volumetric gas flow per unit cross-sectional area of vessel) remained constant at 0.0074 m/s for all tests.
