## Abstract The flotation behaviour of quartz particles was studied over the particle size range from 0.5 ยตm to 1000 ยตm and for advancing water contact angles between 0ยฐ and 83ยฐ. Flotation was performed in a column and in a Rushton turbine cell. Particle contact angle threshold values, below which

โฆ Synopsis
The dispersed-air flotation of polystyrene particles of size 4-20 qr has been studied under conditions in which the effect of particle dieter on the rate of flotation could be analysed. The particle charge was controlled by electrolyte addition. The particle charge had a drastic effect on the flotation rate, an increase by an order of magnitude being observed when the zeta potential was reduced from 60 to 30 mV. The flotation rate was found to vary as the 1.5 power of the particle diameter, and Uris exponent was substantially independent of the zeta potential. It is clear that double layer effects on the surfaces of particles and bubbles have significant roles in flotation of particles as small as those studied here.
