Flotation is today attracting the attention of the metallurgist, chemist, physicist, and intelligent teoh­ nioal man in general. The applioation of the process is making great strines, but the success of it is hindered by the laok of knowleoge ooncerning the rr:a.ny variables that affect the operation. A mill may be running smoothly for weeks at a tiDJe when, without apparent reason, the froth dies and everything goes wrong. Some­ times a ohange in the ore does this, sometimes the water supply, sometimes lubrioating oils get into the sYijtem, and sometimes the tube-mill ia to blame. It is up to the flotation man to study these variables more oareful1y and get a better control of them. We know that the sulphides, or minerals with a metallio lllstr., oan be noated either with or without oil and that the oarbonates, silioates, eto., oannot be floated so readily. Why do oertain oils have the power of selecting oertain mineral., Why do oertain 011a produoe a froth? Why do oertain oils give a watery froth? Why do aome give an ephemeral froth and others 8 tough one? Of the thousands of oils known, only a few classes have found suooessful applioation in this new prooess. Is it beoause others will not giva results or is it beoause they have not been tried? Among the oils used at the present time are the wood-oils, the coal-tRrs and their derivatives, water-gas tars an~ deriva­ tives, the fixed oils and fatty acids, petroleum products, and occa~ionally an essential oil. By a study of these groups and the oils available in each group it will be seen that only a small percentage of the various oils is in use. 7fuy is one oil better than another? In buying oils for flotation it proves often that the same oil, supposedly, gives different resultu. The rl1ethod of manu­ facture and the care of an oil before it is used play important parts in suocessful practice. The properties of an oil may vary by reason of oxidation, exposure to li~ht, or slight differenoes in the method o.f manufacture, especially the distillation temper­ ature in the common flotation-oils. In wood-oils the oomposition may vary with the speoies of wood from which it is obtained. The t?end of work today seems to be to study flotation from the standpoint of the ore, ita electro-static oharge (ao-called), eta •• and from the standpoint of colloidal ohemistry. We believe that, in adnition, a study of 011s would give a better under­ standing of the prooess and of the variables oonoerned, while also aiding in the solution of certain theories not yet advanced. This leads us to the question, what property or combination of properties make oils valuable as flotation agents? Thinking that a oareful study of oils ano their properties might lead us to the solution of this problem, we made the ex~eriments herewith reoorded. From the scanty literature of the subject it would seem thB.t the chief faotors are: 1. Di-electrio strength. 2. Optical properties, the power to absorb certain rays. 3. Insulation value.

4. Visoosi ty. 5. 3aponification value. G. Water-soluble content.

7. Degree to which an oil (as a whole) is ~issolved by water. 8. Facility to be emulsified. 9. Surface tension. 10. Specifio Bravity. 11. Chemical composition. In attaoking the problem the first step was to clasaify the available oils into groups. The oils so far tested cover a large field and can be divided as follows: }'ixed oils, fatty acids, essential oils, wood-oils (including the resins), ooa1- tars and derivatives, water-gas tar an~ derivatives, petroleum and derivatives. In making this olasaificntion we realize that aome groups overlap, that is, oontain like oompounds, but the idea was to get a classification that would show the source and be easily understood. In ad~ition to this general olassification, oils were stlldied in detnil ano technioal artioles abstraoted, giving a volume of matter too large for publication at this time. The next step was to olasstfy oils as to their flotation­ value. This was aooomplished in test-tube Rnd maohine teats. By shRking small quantities of oil, water, and ore in * test­ tube and noting the aotion, we obtained 8. general ale.saifioation of oils: frothir.G oilu, 8cJccttve oil::3, oils that froth and seleot, and oils that are seemingly inactive. The data. were tabula. ted to ni.a the rnachine teste. The DJf.l.chir;e tests were made in a modified Hoove! 1:;Rohine, as shown in the accompanying draw­ ing. The aapeoi ty of this I:J8ohine wae 4000 00. of water and

800 grams of ore, mak1rlg a ratio !3: 1. The agitator gave 1700 r.p.m. The time of eaoh test wae 20 minutes. Sinoe making these teats we have found that it is sdvantage­

OUB to replaoe the small oiroulation pipe, oonnecting the agita­ tor-box and the spitz, with an air-lift. Throughout this work the only variable was the kind of oil. I'LOTATION MACHINE UHEJ) IN THE MIHHOlTRI SCHOOL (W MIN};R. OILS

The resul ts are interesting ann show the possibility of using a great vAriety of 011s if they were pur­ ohasab1e at a low price. The results also in dicate our in­ ability to give to oila flotative values in numerical terms and the irepossibi1ity ,of getting the true values of oils that give no soum or froth, suoh as the ooal-tars and crude petro1eams. It is known that these are [;ood selectors. The tabulations show further that oils vastly different ill consistenoe have

e imi lar fl ota ti ve values. They als 0 br ing ou t 1ihp. fact that a great deal of work must be done before those properties of oils which give them flotHtive value are understood, for instanoe, why do oleio aoid, oottoT1Beed residue, and others froth and lift dolotlite, while citronella, wood-creosote, pine-oil, and others froth and float galena?

The following experiments suggest themselves and are ~eing attemptea: 1. To determine whether there 1.s any rel,a. tion between an oil's selective power and its di-eleotrio oonstant, or an oil's frothing power ano its di-eleotrio constant. 2. The relation, if any, between an oil's seleotive power and ita visoosi ty or an oil's frothiJl[; pOVier and its viaoosi ty. 3. Whether the oil's'survaoe tension or film strength playa any pari in an 011'8 frothing power or in an oil's selective power. 4. Whether the saponifioation value bears any relation to the flotative value of an oil, either frothing value or seleotive value.

5. The facili ty wi th which oils cnn be emul:.d.fied, and their flotutive value.

6. The oil's water ~oluble content an~ the value of it to flotntion.

7. The degree to which oil is soluble in water, soluble

as n whole, nn~ the value of it to flotation.

8. The quantitative effect of the use of frothing oils

and of the use of 8eleotiv~ oils.

9. The relation between a mineral's di-electrio constant and ita tendenoy to be floated. The sulphides have di-eleotrio oonstants approaohing infinity. 10. The grouping of oils as made by the chemist and the flotation-values of these various groups ann to asoertain if the membera of each group have similar value as seleotors or froth.rll.

11. The effeot of various salts an~ amounts of salta on the flotntive value of an oil or combination of 011s. Do these salts affeot the surfaoe of th~ mineral, (10 they oombine with the oil, eto? 12. To show by micro-photographs how oils and bubbles attaoh themselves to minerals. 13. Whether olassifioation is an aid to flotation. EI)PF.~Hlr.ENT NO. 1

'.ahis does not necessarily I1Jea.n thnt the diel~ctric oonstant does not affect an oils value to flotation.

In light of the theory a.nvnnoed by Prof.V.II.Gottsohalk (Th:i s theory has never l)een published) ,i t is reasonable to believe that the dielectr:ic constant which is a meauure of the free electrons existing iTl a body would influence the adsorption of o:1.ls by certain ndl'lerala ,even though it can­ not be shown to be true at thts writing.

One cono1usion can 1)8 made at tr.1.8 time ; that of the oils whioh give a recoverable froth those with high dieleotric oonstants give the best flotation resu1ts.This holda true with the exception of Oil of lesnd Oil of Orange Peel whioh give good flotation results and have low oonstanta. Further exper:tmentation should show that the dieleotrio oonstant at least plays an important part in flotation of minerals by flotation. EXPRRI~KT NO.8.

Effeot of Varying Quantity of 011. Not only is the kind of oil a big factor in the flotation process, but the amount of oil used influences the results con­ siderably. From the tnbles of results on two series of tests one with Citronella And one with a mixture of Castor 011, #20 Flotation Oil, CreoHote Oil, Refined cottonseed and Cresylio Aoid, and the CUl'ves plotted fl'om these results it yilll be seen that there 1s a cri ti cal quanti ty o.f oil which may be used. Below and above this amount infer1.or results will be obtained.

r'rom the curves ~:~howing the effect of varying the amount of oil used it appears that equal Beleotion can be had by using an amount of oil less than the crjt10al amount, but the recovery will be leS8. 80 that in orner to get the added reoovery it will be neoessary to add more oil.

The ~'ixed Oils may be classified as "inactive" oils as far aa frothing ability is conoerned. They all form a slight skum on the Hurface of the water and, where Inrge enough to handle, shows fair selection on the part of the oil. The Fixed Oils are all of a "greasy" or lubrioating nature as distinguished from the solvent types of oils such as and pine oils and all have the stiffness or "body" which seems to prevent their emul­ sifying or mixing with the water.

Petroleum Oils. The Petroleum Oils Give praotioally no froth and as a olass show poor selection. These oils are not miscible with the water but form a slight skura on the surface which is difficult to se­ parate from the water.

The Essential Oils. The Essential Oils give a gOOd. froth and show good seleotive properties. The froth ia ephemeral and usually oonsists of small bubbles. An ephemeral froth wi th small bub1)lea will gtve a olean oonoentra.te beoause the possibility of oontamination by suspended slimes in the water is lessened in proportion to the thinness of the bubble film and this is probably one reason that the Essential Oils give suoh olean oonoentrates. These oils are misoib1e with the water to a large extent and this tendenoy undoubtedly aids their frothing ability. as contrasted with the oils of the fixed oil group which separate in a olear line from the water. The Pine Oils. The Pine Oils are praotically the same as Essential Oils or a mixture of Essential Oils and act as goo~ frothers and good selectors.

The Coal Tars. The Coal Turs are not misoible with water ann usually have a gravi ty greater thanl, so no reaul ts are obtainal)le ..:hen useo alone, altho they undoubtedly are good selectors.

The Wood Tar Oils. The Wood Tar Oils are the heavy oils other than the creosotes oocuring in the of wood. They all give a stiff froth. with large buhbles, and seleot less well than the average. The poorness of selection is probably due to a large extent to the meohanioal oontamination of the froth oy the "dirty" slime water Whioh with the oil makes the thick bubble films.

The Wood Creosotes. The Wood Creosotes give a heavy stiff froth with large bubbles and good selection. They give a slightly leas amount of froth than Wood Tar Oils. and the total weight of conoentrate made ia leas, showing a thinner oil film and therefore one that will give a oleaner concentrate.

Roain 011s and Wood Resina. The Rosin Oils and Wood Resins seem to aot as good frothera and poor selectors. They are mOT.e or less misoible with the water, aooounting for their froth1ng ability.

The Fatty Acids. Oleic Acid was the only Fatty Acid tested and it gave a very large amount of froth, but very poor selection.

In general, it seems that the oils 'It/hleh are n,j.doi hIe wi th the water are the frothine oi].s an~ theoretioally. at least, the oil whioh will give the ephemeral, small bubble, froth will give the oleaner oonoentrfl.te when compared with an oil whioh forms a thiok stiff froth. but the recovery may be grenter in the seoond aase. To get a olean oonoentrate. therefore, it may be necessary to saorifioe reoovery. and viae versa, when using only one oil.

With more than one oil 8. new problem oomes in. From a small a~ount of preliminary work done, it was found that when mixing two oils in varying amounts,the frothing and seleoting properties of the mixture did not always lie between the values foun~ for the se­ parate oils. tending to show the possibility of the formation of a ohemical compound rather than a simple physioal mi:xture, or at any rate this would show that the physioal properties of eaoh were oonsiderably modified by the presenoe of the other.
