The proposal deals with the development of novel process evaluation             procedures for the flotation/separation process in mineral engineering.         It combines technological innovation and industry interaction to aid one        of the "mature" U.S. industries, namely, the non-ferrous extractive             metallurgical industry.  The PI believes that a sizable portion of the          copper industry, for example, can be returned to profitability by use of        technological innovation to cut costs and increase recovery.  The PI            proposes to study the interrelationship between the chemical, machine           and operational factors that influence the flotation process.  Results          of this work can be used for understanding and optimizing the separation        method wherever it is used for ores, coal, sewage treatment and a broad         range of pollution control processes.
