2017-4-9 Froth flotation process. 1904. process for separating mineral ores. At the end of the 19th century, metal prices had slumped and around every Australian mining town mountains of waste were piling up, much of it still containing valuable metals like zinc. The problem facing Guillaume Delprat was to find a cheap way to reprocess the waste and get ...
More2006-5-1 The development of the original Potter–Delprat process, the introduction of oils to generate froth flotation and the achievement of selective flotation processing are described, all focussed on solving challenges with the Broken Hill Pb–Ag–Zn ores.
More1981-1-1 Delprat played an important part in the perfecting of a technique that came to be known as the [C.V.] Potter-Delprat flotation process; it revolutionized sulphide ore treatment and brought enormous profits from the metal content of millions of tons [tonnes] of formerly useless tailings. He received from B.H.P. £1000 for his patents and from ...
More2020-6-19 The original patents for the flotation process were secured by C. V. Potter in 1901 and by G. D. Delprat in 1902. Controversy over the originality of each soon followed and litigation ensued, lasting until 1907. The Potter - Delprat process, as it was referred to after 1907, proved unsuccessful on a large scale. In 1905, Minerals Separation Ltd ...
More2021-9-12 Another flotation process was independently invented in the early 1900s in Australia by Charles Vincent Potter and around the same time by Guillaume Daniel Delprat. [7] [8] This process (developed circa 1902) did not use oil, but relied upon flotation by the generation of gas formed by the introduction of acid into the pulp.
More2021-4-13 Delprat had changed processing practice by building one of the first industrial flotation plants and zinc production became a major industry.

MoreDelprat spent many years in Broken Hill and was naturalised in 1904. A method for separating ore from rock crushings using bubbles to float the ore to the surface was developed by Charles Potter and Guillaume Delprat in the early 1900s. It became known as the Potter-Delprat flotation process.
More2011-9-10 The reality of such a mechanism is confirmed by the multiyear practice of applying the Potter-Delprat process. In connection with the aforesaid, when investigating the flotation process, it is more rational not to orient for the principle of “effective collisions” of particles and bubbles as a necessary condition for their adherence and ...

More2019-10-31 the flotation process and its development has been attributed to G.D. Delprat, who, after graduation from study in Amsterdam, began his mining career as metallurgist at the Tharsis copper mine in Spain in 1879 before going to Broken Hill in 1898.6 As Brian Kennedy has suggested, he was ‘not without a touch of ruthlessness’,7 while
