workshop
Flotation Chemistry Fundamentals & Practice
Date: 16th November 2025
Time: 9am-4pm
Location: Vineyard Hotel
This is a short course delivered by the UQ’s Associate Professor Liza Forbes, that covers the crucial role of flotation reagents in mineral resource recovery. The course combines an accessible overview of theory and places it in context with plant practice, with examples from real-world flotation operations.
The course covers topics such as:
• Nature of surfaces in flotation and how they can be manipulated
• Guidance to identifying and understanding key components of mineral systems
• Basic building blocks of flotation reagents and how they work
• Common approaches to surface manipulation using chemistry
• Talking to reagent suppliers and asking the right questions
