Abstract
This dissertation describes an investigation into the combined effect of polysaccharides and an inorganic dispersant on the surface characteristics of talc and how this relates to the flotation performance of Merensky ore. The rationale in investigating the talc changes are due to its naturally flotable nature and the downstream problems that result from its reporting to the concentrate causing difficulties disproportionate to its average concentration of less than 2% in Merensky Ore.
