Abstract
By analyzing the flotation kinetics of particles with the controllable hydrophobic behavior, the influence of wetting the surfaces of such particles on their flotation rate constant is studied. Choosing particles within a small range of size, the authors show that the flotation kinetics agrees with the flotation kinetics equation proposed by Beloglazov, and the flotation rate constant depends on the effective fraction of hydrophobic component on the particle surface and on the induction time.
