Abstract
Flotation kinetics was studied for the flotation of Canad-ian nickel ore using N-hydrocinnamoyl- N-phenyl-hydrox-ylamine (HCNPHA) as the collector. The differential flotation between pentlandite and pyrrhotite of HCNPHA was compared by repeating the experiments with potassium amyl xanthate (PAX). However, the pH for the flotation was 9.0 and 9.5, respectively, for using HCNPHA or PAX as collec-tor. Time-recovery plots were fit using the modified first order rate equation for flotation kinetics, namely, 12, = ev"), and flotation rate constant and the cumulative recovery at time infinite (R,) were computed. HCNPHA was found to react with pentlandite slightly faster than PAX. However, HCNPHA was found to float more pyrrhotite and silica than PAX thus the grade of the concentrates were adversely affected.
