Abstract: This study explores the impact of slurry conditioning speed (200–1600 r/min) on coal flotation efficiency through surface tension and collector adsorption analyses. Experiments revealed that conditioning speed critically modulates particle–reagent interactions via energy input regulation. Optimal performance occurred at 600 r/min, achieving peak adsorption (271.46%, modeled by θ = 271.46 − 3.20λ, R2 = 0.935) with minimized surface tension (25.1 mN/m) and superior flotation metrics (91.0% yield, 7.81% ash). Higher speeds induced centrifugal desorption, elevating surface tension (≤36.47 mN/m) and degrading efficiency. A Poly5 nonlinear model (R2 = 0.936) effectively correlated surface tension with flotation performance, while normalized surface tension data demonstrated exceptional agreement (R2 = 0.976) with experimental results. Optimization identified 446.5 r/min as the equilibrium point balancing particle collisions and centrifugal dispersion. These findings establish surface tension as a reliable control parameter and propose a data-driven framework for intelligent dosing strategies, advancing automation in coal flotation processes through physics-informed predictive models.
