Fundamental study of sulfide mineral flotation in high saline water

在许多工业应用中，水是一种工艺介质，包括矿物加工、油砂开采和煤炭洗选。淡水也是生命所必需的有限资源。工业用水在世界范围内受到越来越严格的审查。回收/再利用工艺用水是减少或消除淡水摄入和尽量减少废水处理以保护环境的必要步骤。干旱地区资源工业的淡水利用问题更为严重。在世界上许多地区，海水是唯一可以被资源工业利用的水源。然而，使用回收的工艺用水或海水会引起离子浓度升高的问题。选矿用高盐水的离子种类和浓度对矿石的可加工性有深远的影响。了解离子种类对循环/生理盐水的影响

Water is a process medium in many industrial applications, including mineral processing, oil sands extraction, and coal washing. Fresh water is also a limited resource essential to life. Industrial use of potable water is being viewed with increasing scrutiny around the world. Recycling/reuse of process water is an essential step to reduce or eliminate the intake of fresh water and minimize the disposal of spent water for environment protection. The problems with fresh water usage in the resources industries in arid regions are more acute. In many regions over the world, seawater is the only possible water source that can be accessed by the resources industry. The use of recycled process water, or seawater, however, entails the problem of elevated ionic concentrations. The ionic species and concentration of recycled high saline water used for mineral processing have a profound impact on ore processability. Understanding the impact of ionic species in recycled/saline
