This document sets out a laboratory procedure for the froth flotation testing of fine coal, e.g. coal of
particle size less than 0,5 mm. The procedure provides a means of evaluating the general flotation
characteristics of a coal under a set of specified standard conditions, and will not necessarily indicate
the full flotation potential of that coal.
The flotation characteristics of coals are sensitive to changes in flotation conditions. These conditions
can be changed by varying basic parameters such as flotation time, reagent and dosage rate. Separate
flotation tests are used to assess the effect of varying these parameters to determine the best flotation
conditions for a particular coal. A method of evaluating flotation response will be given in a separate
standard.Cross References:ISO 11722ISO 13909-3ISO 13909-4ISO 648ISO 18283ISO 565ISO 1171ISO 13909-1ISO 1213-1ISO 13909-2ISO 1953All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
