Froth flotation is a separation method that changes the surface chemistry of desired minerals, rendering them hydrophobic which allows the desired minerals to attach to air bubbles and float to the surface of the water, forming a froth. Collectors are the primary chemical added into the system to aid in flotation. ... View author publications.

Conditions of operation of froth-flotation. Froth-flotation is in general effective only on ores ground to pass 0.3-mm. aperture or less and the agitation-froth and bubble-column processes are most effectively practiced when the bulk of the feed will pass a 0.074-mm. screen. In these latter processes the finely pulverized ore must be in the ...

Froth flotation is a highly versatile method for physically separating particles based on differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to specific mineral surfaces in a mineral/water slurry. The particles with attached air bubbles are then carried to the surface and removed, while the particles that remain completely wetted stay in the liquid phase.
