Course content
Flotation is a physicochemical process widely used in mineral processing and water treatment. This course focuses on theoretical and practical aspects of flotation. It includes, for instance, the surface chemistry and kinetics of flotation, flotation properties of different types of solids and their interactions with various reagents. The course also includes the comprehensive information on flotation devices, machines, and circuits as well as case studies to illustrate the applications of flotation processes.
Learning outcome
Knowledge: Students should have acquired knowledge and understand the most common solutions used in processing of various types of raw materials.
Skills: Students shall be able to use the digital tools to design flowsheets and suggest processes for effective and environmentally friendly systems.
General competence: Students shall be able to identify new ideas and innovations within current flotation processes and be able to communicate and share experiences with others who have background in the field.
Learning methods and activities
The course includes lectures, exercises, and a semester project.
Further on evaluation
Written final exam (70%) and semester project (30%) will form the bases for the final grade. Both the project and the exam must be passed to pass the course. For re-take of an examination, all assessments during the course must be re-taken. To pass the course a score of at least 70 percent (70 out of 100 points) is required.
If there is a re-sit examination the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
