โฆ Synopsis
Contact angles on both natural, fiat and prepared, polished surfaces of coal were measured for distilled water, solutions of several A13+ and Fe3+ coagulants, and commercial flocculants. The pH value was varied also. Contact angles increase up to coagulant and flocculant concentrations of -60 ppm and remain practically constant at higher concentrations.
Coagulants probably adversely affect flotation of coal fines whereas flocculants have an effect on contact angles similar to that of surfactants.

There have been many experiments that have determined the wetting behavior of liquids on low-energy solid surfaces. These experiments show that, in general, the contact angle, theta, measured through the liquid, increases with increasing liquid-vapor surface tension, sigmalv. Surprisingly, in experi
