Advances in Mineral Processing Science and Technology / Mineralogy—PDF

The present symposium, 7th in the series, is dedicated to honor Professor James A. Finch of McGill University for his outstanding contributions over almost 40 years in several areas of mineral processing research. The papers presented in the volume, to a large extent, reflect Jim's interests and are a tribute to his accomplishments and leadership. Most papers are on flotation, including, chemistry, hydrodynamics and machine design, in each one of which Jim's contributions have been outstanding and internationally recognized. There is also a section of papers in other areas of mineral processing, such as gravity separation, sedimentation and sulphide minerals self-heating. Jim has done significant work in some of these areas as well and the non-flotation papers are a welcome addition to the volume.
