Java applet should appear here Now investigate the effect of inclusion size on flotation velocity by selecting different inclusion sizes.

1. If you have access to a printer, print out this page;
2. Turn the stir speed to zero and select an inclusion diameter of 1 µm. This will restart the simulation;
3. After 30 seconds, record the number of remaining particles and the number of agglomerations in the table;
4. Now turn the stir speed to its maximum value and re-select 1mm to restart the clock;
5. Again, after 30 seconds, record the number of remaining particles and the number of agglomerations in the table;
6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 for inclusions sizes of 5, 15, 30 and 50 µm;
7. Plot your results on a graph;
8. What are your main conclusions?

	No stirring		Maximum stirring
Initial inclusion diameter / µm	Inclusions remaining after 30 s	Agglomerations in first 30 s	Inclusions remaining 30 s	Agglomerations in first 30 s

50

N.B. Both the inclusion sizes, and their velocities have been artificially increased to accelerate this simulation.
