The Business of Flotation—PDF
The deliberate choice of the title “The Business of Flotation” underscores the authors’ contention that while flotation is a technological process, its application is fundamentally a business strategy for extracting paymetals from mined ore.
This comprehensive, easy-to read book goes beyond the traditional approaches, emphasizing asset management optimisation and addressing the performance gap in concentrator operations.
