Application of Depletion Attraction in Mineral Flotation: II. Effects of Depletant Concentration

Along with the accompanying theory article, we experimentally investigate the effect of the depletion attraction force on the flotation of malachite. While varying the concentration of the depletion agent (polyethylene glycol), three different systems are studied: pure malachite, pure silica and a 1...
