A Review of Flotation Physical Froth Flow Modifiers
Over the past few decades, the need to process more minerals while lowering capital costs has led to an increase in the size of flotation cells, e.g., 0.03 m3 to 1000 m3. However, this increase has created new challenges in the operation and design of industrial flotation cells, particularly in terms of froth removal, because the distance the …Web

FLOTATION
"Flotation" is a generic term for a number of processes known as "adsorptive bubble techniques", Lemlich (1972); these are classified into ing and noning separation methods. ing methods require the addition of surfactants to generate a relatively stable or froth which then acts as a carrier fluid during particle removal.Web
