dc.description.abstractThe impact of particle shape and surface properties has been mainly overlooked in the literature for different mineral systems. In this study, to investigate the effects of morphological variations, samples of clean coal parti-cles (-0.212 + 0.075 mm) were used and the flotation experimental in a batch condition (2 L Denver cell) were conducted in the absence of collectors by keeping the particle size constant. Binocular microscopic images were used to determine the shape factors of coal particles. A dry ball milling process was carried out as a function of grinding time (60-960 s) and representative samples were taken for determining both shape and floatability of particles. Further, particle-bubble attachment, zeta potential, roundness, surface roughness values and flotation kinetics were measured. It was indicated that by increasing milling duration from 60 s to 960 s, the round-ness and roughness increased from 0.792 to 0.809 and 23 nm to 57 nm, respectively. This led to increasing flotation rate constant from 0.4482 +/- 0.02 to 0.4856 +/-& nbsp;& nbsp;0.03 1/min. In addition, the theoretical calculations for energy barrier showed that upon increasing the roughness degree from 0 to 57 nm, the energy barrier signifi-cantly decreased from 2.79E-16 to 6.51E-17 J/m(2), which also proved our findings from a theoretical point of view. Thus, it was finally concluded that the more the roughness, the higher the flotation kinetics and the lower the energy barrier.(c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
