Basic Principle of Froth Flotation Process. There is a first step in breaking down ore into small pieces. This makes it easier to separate it from the water because it has more surface area. The ores are first ground into small pieces and mixed with water. When you make something, it's called a slurry.

Due to many problems such as pipe blockage, environmental pollution, and the difficulty of recovering precious metals, caused by extensive use of lime, the conventional program using lime (CaO) as the inhibitor and xanthates (e. g., sodium butylxanthate) (BX) as the collector has become increasingly restricted in use, and lime-free flotation …

Principles of Flotation Flotation is a physico-chemical separation process that utilises the difference in surface properties of the valuable minerals and the unwanted gangue minerals. The theory of froth flotation is complex, involving three phases (solids, water, and froth) with many subprocesses and interactions, and is not completely ...

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.
