Abstract

Highlights: Surface forces and flotation. Wetting films. Selective coagulationand flocculation. Electrical double layer properties of minerals. Abstract: Dr J A Kitchener′s scientific contributions stamp him as one of the foremost colloid and mineral processing scientists worldwide in the second half of the twentieth century. Joe Kitchener′s scientific insights in surface forces and flotation; wetting films; selective coagulation, and flocculation; the electrical double layer properties of minerals and the electrochemistry of metal sulphides provided a remarkable stimulus to many researchers in diverse fields. This article highlights these selected aspects of his research and their enduring scientific legacy in colloid science and flotation.
