At pH 9, the beneficial effect of fine quartz (11.6%) on the flotation of coarse quartz was observed even for a low dosage of ether monoamine (20 g/t). The visual aspect of the froth was also influenced by the presence of fines, rendering the bubbles smaller and more stable, an effect similar to that of frothers.
