Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Esch member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, govern-
mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the
work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an Interna-
tional Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
International Standard ISO 8858-1 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 27, Solid mineral fuels.
ISO 8858 consists of the following Part, under the general title Hard
coal - Roth f7otation festing:
- Part 1: Laborstory procedure
ISO 8858-2 will be published later.

Introductisn
The froth flotation of coal has widespread application for the concen-
tration and Separation sf fine coal particles from mineral matter. The
response of coal to the froth flotation process is initially measured by a
laboratory scale test. Although the principles used for the Iaboratory
tests are generally similar, the precise type of equipment and tech-
niques used vary considerably.
The procedure for the laboratory froth flotation test sets out, in detail,
the type of equipment to be used and the methods to be adopted. The
purpose of this procedure is to provide a Standard method of test by
which a preliminary evaluation of the froth flotation characteristics of a
coal tan be compared. This need is particularly important for explora-
tion Programmes. This part of ISO 8858 also serves as an introduction
for Operators who are not familiar with the techniques (and Problems)
associated with the laboratory froth flotation of coals.
