Abstract
- Review of literature for effect of particle shape and roughness on flotation.
- Hypothesis that particle shape will affect time for bubble-particle attachment.
- Direct experimental observation of induction period for different particle shapes.
- Rigorous statistical analysis corrects for varying particle trajectory and velocity.
- Angular particles attach to bubbles much faster than do spherical particles.
