The flotation process is a widely used method for separating minerals from their ores. It relies on the differences in surface properties of the minerals to be separated. Here are the steps involved in the flotation process: Grinding: The ore is first crushed into a fine powder through the process of grinding.

Introduction. Froth flotation is one of the most broadly used separation methods in the mineral processing industry. However, despite being introduced in the early 1900s and numerous years of research and development, flotation is still not fully understood and remains relatively inefficient.

Flotation. According to the difference in physicochemical properties of mineral particle surfaces, flotation is the method that selectively enriches the target minerals in the pulp at the gas-liquid interface and separates them from the pulp, thus realizing the mineral separation. It is also known as floating separation.

Flotation is the process of separation of beneficial minerals from a mixture by creating froth on which minerals separate out. This is a method of mineral processing in which different minerals are separated selectively. The ores containing multiple metals, such as lead, copper and zinc, can be selectively extracted by using froth floatation.

Abstract. The practice of the flotation of pure gold and gold-bearing ores such as tellurides, aurostibite, kerogen, pyrite, pyrrhotite, copper-gold ores and mixed sulphides is reviewed. The factors which influence the choice of collectors, pH and Eh, are discussed as well as the application of differential flotation.

Explanation: Froth floatation is generally used for sulphide ores. It is based on the fact that sulphide ores are preferentially wetted by oils while that of the gangue is wetted by water. To a suspension of the crushed ore in water, collectors are added to enhance the non-wettability of the ore particles.
