A mineral’s journey – unravelling flotation phenomena through particle tracking
Prof Dr. Pablo Brito-Parada
Pablo Brito-Parada is a Reader (Associate Professor) in the Department of Earth Science and Engineering at Imperial College London. A Chemical Engineer by training, his research combines novel experimental and modelling techniques for the optimisation of multiphase separations in mineral processing. His team works on various aspects of froth flotation, including the modelling of pulp and froth phase phenomena, advanced control techniques, and experimental characterisation of flotation systems from bench to industrial scale. The team has carried out industrial optimisation testwork on mineral concentrators worldwide. Pablo is the Editor-in-Chief of Elsevier’s Minerals Engineering journal and serves on the International Mineral Processing Council (IMPC).
