Abstract
Radioisotope tracers have a proven application for the extraction of r esidence time distributions and the evaluation of flotation rates in i ndustry. This paper shows how values of the rate factor k are scaled u p on the basis of flotations in the laboratory and tracer tests in pla nt. The procedure is illustrated by a theoretical study and by experim ental data. The information obtained can be introduced into models of larger flotation systems.
