title = "Comparison of laboratory- and commercial-scale coal froth flotation using models of rate and presence time",
abstract = "A model incorporating rate and residence time to describe the froth flotation process was used to provide data for the evaluation of various kinetic flotation models and to provide scale-up information from laboratory to industrial scale coal froth flotation. Rate constants were determined in laboratory and plant froth flotation tests and the residence time distribution was measured for a bank of four 21 ft3 (0.6 m3) WEMCO cells treating Upper Freeport seam coal and a bank of four 300 ft3 (8.5 m3) cells treating Lower Kittanning seam coal. It was found that a lag time for continuous flotation should be incorporated into scale up models and that a kinetic froth factor ratio of between about 2.0 and 2.8 should also be used to scale up data from laboratory to plant scale.",
