Miller, Jan D. | Axial flow reversal and its significance in air-sparged hydrocyclone (ASH) flotation | In recent years the potential of air-sparged hydrocyclone (ASH) flotation for fine coal cleaning has been demonstrated both in pilot plant testing and in a plant-site demonstration program. Further improvements in the ASH technology will depend, to some extent, on improved understanding of the co... | Flotation; zero axial velocity; computational fluid dynamics | 1995 |

Miller, Jan D. | Bench scale flotation of sedimentary phosphate rock with hydroxamic acid collectors | It has been discovered that water insoluble alcoholic solutions of alkyl hydroxamic acids serve as selective collectors for the flotation of phosphate mineral resources. The effectiveness of the new collector chemistry has been demonstrated by the results from single stage bench scale flotation exp... | Flotation; Insoluble collectors; Hydroxamic acid; Alcohol; Phosphate rock; High solids conditioning; Particle size | 2002 |

Miller, Jan D. | Effect of ink types and printing processes on flotation deinking | Examination of ink types reveals that newsprint oil-based offset-cold and offset-heat inks contain substantial oil (45 to 60%) and resin (5 to 35%), water-based ink contains water (40%) and resin (polystyrene, 30%). These inks are liquids with densities around 1 g/cm3, having various viscosities... | Toners; Inks; Photocopying; Laser printing; Flotation; Deinking; Recycling; Office waste; Hyrdophobicity | 1997 |

Miller, Jan D.; Nalaskowski, Jakub | Flotation chemistry and technology of nonsulfide minerals | The dimensions of nonsulfide flotation technology extend in many directions, as might be expected from the diversity of the mineral classes, which include soluble salt minerals (potash, borax, and trona), semisoluble salt minerals (phosphate minerals, fluorite, calcite, and barite), and insoluble ox... | Flotation; Insoluble collectors; Salt minerals; Nonsulfide minerals | 2007 |

Miller, Jan D. | Flotation of boron minerals: discussion | Experimental flotation/bubble attachment results for 21 different alkali halides (Yalamanchili et al., 1993; Yalamanchili and Miller, 1994b) confirmed that the flotation response of soluble salt minerals with weak electrolyte collectors can best be explained by the adsorption of oppositely charged ... | Flotation; Boron minerals; Salts; Adsorption | 1994 |

Miller, Jan D. | Flow phenomena and its impact on air-sparged hydrocyclone flotation of quartz | Fluid flow phenomena and therefore the flotation efficiency of air-sparged hydrocyclone (ASH) flotation are strongly dependent on operating and design variables such as air and slurry flow rates, underflow and overflow opening areas, percent solids of the feed, reagent levels, particle size and ASH... | Quartz; Flotation; Hydrocyclones | 1995 |

Miller, Jan D. | Fluoride activation in oleate flotation of collophanite | Fluoride activation has been evaluated by Hallimond tube flotation of collophanite in terms of fluoride concentration, conditioning time, pH, and temperature. The results reveal that efficient oleate flotation of collophanite can be achieved by fluoride activation. Experimental results of fluoride... | Fluoride; Oleate; Collophanite; Flotation; Calcium; Chemisorption | 1987 |

Miller, Jan D. | Gold flotation from Colorado River sand with the air-sparged hydrocyclone | Pilot-scale tests indicate that effective concentration of fine gold from Colorado River sands can be achieved by flotation with the air-sparged hydrocyclone. The fine sands (55% -kOQ mesh and 0 01 opt *) from gravity concentration were processed with a 5-cm air-sparged hydrocyclone (capacity -1.0 t... | Gold; Hydrocyclones; Sand; Flotation | 1986 |

Miller, Jan D. | Hydrophobic character of semisoluble salt minerals with oleate as collector | The effects of temperature, oxygen partial pressure, and solution chemistry can have a significant effect on the hydrophobic character of semisoluble salt minerals with adsorbed oleate. Measurements of bubble-attachment time and contact angle reveal the sensitivity of these hydrophobic surfaces to c... | Flotation; Solution; Oleate | 1984 |

Miller, Jan D. | Importance of bitumen viscosity in the hot-water processing of domestic tar sands | The separation efficiency of the hot water digestion-flotation technique used for bitumen recovery from various domestic tar sands was evaluated. Bitumen viscosity was found to be the most important tar sand property in determining the success of the bitumen separation. Bitumen viscosity of the tar ... | Tar sand; Bitumen viscosity; Flotation; Hot-water processing | 1983 |

Miller, Jan D. | Infrared spectroscopy for in-situ characterization of surface reactions | Infrared spectroscopy has been one of the most useful experimental techniques for the analysis of surface reactions in flotation systems, including surface alteration and surfactant adsorption reactions. With the advent of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers, many low-energy throughpu... | Reflection; Flotation; Measurements | 1989 |

Miller, Jan D. | Molybdenite flotation from copper/molybdenum concentrates by ozone conditioning | Typically, rougher molybdenite flotation and recovery from bulk copper/molybdenum concentrates involves the use of alkalisulfides, Nokes reagents, cyanides, oxidants, and/or thermal treatment to depress copper sulfide minerals. The bulk copper/molybdenum feed generally varies from 0.2% Mo to 1.0% M... | Molybdenum; Copper; Flotation; Ozone conditioning | 1990 |

Miller, Jan D. | New developments in mixing, flocculation and flotation for industrial wastewater pretreatment and municipal wastewater treatment | Solid/liquid separations are commonly the first step in any wastewater treatment. Such technologies are mature and new developments are rare. However, in the last decade some significant improvements in separation techniques for industrial waste water pretreatment have been implemented.
