Abstract: A bath for electrodeposition of a bright nickel-iron electrodeposit comprises conventional brighteners and complexing agents together with a novel antipitting agent comprising a hydroxyethylated oligoamide. The bath is suitable for use in electronics, the plating of jewelry, furniture and household facilities in addition to medical appliances, sporting goods, bicycle parts, motorcycles and cars.

Abstract: Method of and apparatus for the flotation processing of minerals. The starting material is pretreated by means of flotation agents and is then spread in the form of a controllable thin film over a fixed perforated controllable-surface drum, the so-obtained suspension-film is blown through by an airstream from the inner to the outer side of said drum, and the stability or the composition of the frothed layer or of the unfrothed layer over the surface of the suspension is controlled.

Abstract: A method of and apparatus for the flotation of mineral feedstock using the method of froth flotation. The method may be employed with flotation machines having their own air suction, or with flotation machines with subaeration. Pulps pretreated with flotation agents and having a density up to twice the normal density of ore pulps are submitted to a flotation process with a pulsed air flow by means of normal air supply periods alternating with periods wherein the quantity of air ranges from 1-90% of the normal air supply. The apparatus for carrying out said method makes use of known flotation machines with rotor-stator systems, which machines are modified to provide them with an air duct incorporating an air flow regulating member connected to an appropriate control means. With the existing methods of flotation there are obtained about 400 gr/l of solids in the pulp. With the present method with pulsing air supply there can be obtained about 800 gr/l of solids in the pulp.
