The advent of flotation, with selective interaction of reagents with minerals at its core, has greatly advanced the development of modern mining. A unique perspective from coordination is presented to illustrate the principles of reagent molecules interacting with metal ions on mineral surface.
Jianhua Chen, a professor at Guangxi University in China, specializes in the theory of flotation including solid-state physics of mineral lattice, interface chemistry and quantum calculation based on density functional theory.
