ABSTRACT The Ni(II) ion flotation kinetics with sodium dodecylsulfate as collector was studied with the aim of developing new models to predict the flotation rate constant (k) of Ni(II) ions and water removal during the process of Ni(II) ion flotation. In this regard, the most influential parameters on Ni(II) ion flotation efficiency including the ratio of collector concentration on the Ni(II) ion concentration, impeller speed, activity coefficient, and pH were used to develop predictive models. The results show that the proposed gene expression programming models can be used to predict the flotation rate constant of Ni(II) ions and water removal.
