At the beginning of the froth flotation process, the coal particles are often agitated with a flotation reagent solution in a mixer intensely, and then the mixture is moved into an specially engineered cell for the actual coal flotation process. In the cell, air is sucked and effused by a rotational impeller (Fig. 1).
In the process of coal flotation, the froth image has multiple features (Morphology, texture, color, etc.) as described in Section These reflect the image information of froth from different angles, however, it is not enough to use only one of the features as the feature quantity for recognition, which may lead to inaccurate classification ...

Introduction. Froth flotation is the largest tonnage separation in mineral processing by which valuable mineral is separated from waste rock. Advances in control and optimisation of the froth flotation process are of great relevance since even very small increases in recovery lead to large economic benefits (Ferreira and Loveday, 2000, Maldonado et al., 2007).
At present, the coal flotation process relies on artificial recognition of froth features for adjusting the reagent dosage, which cannot realize the optimal control of the quality of the clean ...
3. Flotation is a physicochemical separation process that utilises the difference in surface properties of the valuable minerals and the unwanted gangue minerals. 1. Selective attachment to air bubbles (or "true flotation"). 2. Entrainment in the water which passes through the froth. 3.
Generally, entrainment is a twostep transfer process [17,18,19,20], one at the upper layer of the pulp to the flotation froth, and the other from froth to the the first step, the literature has reported three accepted mechanisms, which are boundary layer theory [21,22,23], bubble wake theory [22,23,24], and bubble swarm theory [22, 25].

Froth flotation is a highly versatile method for physically separating particles based on differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to specific mineral surfaces in a mineral/water slurry. The particles with attached air bubbles are then carried to the surface and removed, while the particles that remain completely wetted stay in the liquid phase. Froth flotation can be ...
Froth flotation, as one of important coal preparation techniques, is facing challenges coming from the slimes. According to the composition of the slime, these slimes can be divided into three types: fine coal particles, locked particles of coal and gangue, and gangue particles (mostly clay) (Yu et al., 2015).
