Understanding Surface Forces and Interaction Mechanisms in Mineral Flotation by Atomic Force Microscopy
DownloadFall 2019
Bubble-particle interactions are ubiquitous and crucial to mineral fotation. The bubble-particle attachment process is mainly governed by three surface forces: van der Waals (vdW), electrical double-layer (EDL), and hydrophobic (HB) forces. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) has become the most...

Understanding the alteration of the Tagish Lake meteorite through mineralogy, geochemistry and oxygen isotopes
DownloadFall 2013
Our understanding of the origin and formation of the various components of meteorites, and ultimately understanding the formation of the early Solar System, comes from our knowledge of the asteroidal alteration processes and modifications that such processes induce on these components. The...
