The maximum particle Reynolds number (Rep) was obtained at 60.25 with a particle size of -500+420 µm, impeller speed of 900 rpm, bubble surface area flux of 10.21 1/s and micro scale turbulence size of 162 µm. When the micro turbulence size was equal to the particle size, the maximum flotation rate of coarse particles (Rep>10) was obtained at 1.47 1/min.
