Fundamental study of sulfide mineral flotation in high saline water

水是许多工业应用中的过程介质，包括选矿、油砂开采和洗煤。淡水也是生命所必需的有限资源。世界各地对饮用水的工业使用正受到越来越严格的审查。工艺水的回收/再利用是减少或消除淡水摄入量，最大限度地减少废水处理以保护环境的重要步骤。干旱地区资源性行业的淡水利用问题更为突出。在世界上许多地区，海水是资源行业唯一可能获得的水源。然而，使用回收的工艺水或海水，会带来离子浓度升高的问题。用于选矿的再生高盐水的离子种类和浓度对矿石的可加工性有着深刻的影响。了解再生/盐水中离子物种的影响

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
