dc.description.abstractThis paper compares model predictions from a novel kinetic model with data from five fundamental single-mineral literature flotation datasets. The empirical correlations proposed by Safari and Deglon (2018) are modified to improve their robustness, requiring only a single best-fit regression coefficient per mineral type. Experimental and model-predicted rate constants were compared on a parity chart where a reasonable linear correlation was observed, with a gradient of 0.95 and an overall <i>R</i><sup>2</sup> value of 0.97. Thereafter experimental and model-predicted trends from the flotation datasets were compared for particle size, contact angle, agitation, and gas flow rate. Model-predicted trends were reasonably accurate for most of the flotation datasets, but under-predicted the rate constant for larger particles for the data of Pyke (2004). In general model predictions were reasonably accurate, which is considered quite good, as these were obtained by fitting a single parameter per mineral type to several large flotation datasets, totaling 330 rate constants.en_US
