What is it about?
Flotation model selection and its use in industry for flotation circuit design and predicting the recovery of the valuable component is important for process engineers. This article tells about the how statistical procedure helps to make a judicious selection of the best model for future use.

Why is it important?
Our finding shows that out of seven flotation model considered second order kinetic model and fully mixed model has the best predictive power. The author recommends these two models for future use.
Perspectives
Due to pressure from end users to meet the demand of coal supply fine coal beneficiation is gaining more importance. And Froth flotation is the only effective technique relies on the surface properties for separating the hydrophobic particles from hydrophilic gangue. The use of appropriate mathematical model can save the coal industry for estimating the recovery of non-ash particles.
