ABSTRACT
The paper presents the yield of carbon-and-cooper-bearing shale from the Legnica and Glogow Copper Basin flotation also called Kupferschiefer in the presence of ethylene, diethylene and trithylene glycol butyl ethers (C4E1, C4E2, C4E3) frothers characterized by frother normalized concentration that is ratio of the frother concentration, and its critical coalescence concentration expressed in different units.
It was found that the oucome of flotation is identical provided that the frother concentration is expressed in milimoles per Mg.
