Industrial application of microbubble generation methods for recovering fine particles through froth flotation: A review of the state-of-the-art and perspectives
Adv Colloid Interface Sci. 2023 Nov 6;322:103047. doi: 10.1016/j.cis.2023.103047. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe depletion of high-grade and coarse-grain ores has led to an increasing demand for the development of efficient separation technologies for low-grade and fine-grain ores. However, conventional froth flotation techniques are not adequate to efficiently recover fine and ultrafine particles (typically <10-15 μm) due to the low collision probability between these particles and the relatively large bubbles used in the process. The introduction of microbubbles has shown promise in enhancing particle recovery, ma...

A review of sodium silicate solutions: Structure, gelation, and syneresis
Adv Colloid Interface Sci. 2023 Nov 2;322:103036. doi: 10.1016/j.cis.2023.103036. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSodium silicate solutions, also known as waterglass, have been found to have remarkable utility in a variety of applications. The cumulative weight of evidence from 70 years of varied analysis indicates that silicate solutions consist of a wide range of species, from monomers through oligomers, up to colloids. Moreover, the structure and distribution of these species are greatly dependent upon many parameters, such as solute concentrations, silica to alkali ratio, pH, and temperature.
