Özet

Shape and morphological properties of barite and pyrite particles ground by autogenous and ball milling have been examined by using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Hallimond tube flotation tests were performed to evaluate the floatability of particles ground in different environments. Measurements and SEM observations revealed that particles with lower flatness and higher degree of roundness have better floatability.
