1 Froth Flotation – Fundamental Principles
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 ...

Frothers in flotation: A review of performance and function …
Froth stability is a critical factor for flotation and even a small decrease in froth stability causes a decrease in the recovery of desirable minerals (Hadler and Cilliers, 2009, Hadler et al., 2012, Kowalczuk and Drzymala, 2017a, Kowalczuk and Drzymala, 2017). Although frothers improve flotation rate and recovery, a very high frother ...
