Read MoreFroth flotation is a process for selectively separating of hydrophobic materials from hydrophilic.This is used in mineral processing, paper recycling and waste-water treatment industries. Historically this was first used in the mining industry, where it was one of the great enabling technologies of the 20th century.
Read MoreThe flotation process is based on the difference in wettability of particles. Hydrophobic particles enter into froth product, while hydrophilic particles remain in the flotation pulp. When the hydrophobic minerals are the gangue minerals, the process is called "reverse flotation"; otherwise, it is simply called flotation.

Read MoreThe Froth Flotation Process is about taking advantage of the natural hydrophobicity of liberated (well ground) minerals/metals and making/playing on making them hydrophobic (water-repel) individually to carefully separate them from one another and the slurry they are in. For this purpose we use chemicals/reagents: Frothers (MIBC) is what allows the formation of air bubbles.

Flotation is commonly used as a mineral dressing process. Ores such as sulphides, salt minerals, scheelite, feldspar, mica and
Read MoreFlotation is the process of separating mixed liberated particles from each other. Slurry of hydrophobic mineral-bearing ore hydrophilic gangue is then introduced to a water bath which is aerated, creating bubbles. Particles that are not wetted by water (hydrophobic) tend to be attached to air bubbles levitate (float) to the top of the process vessel and collect in the forth layer.
Read MoreThe basis of froth flotation is the difference in wettabilities of different minerals. Particles range from those that are easily wettable by water (hydrophilic) to those that are water-repellent (hydrophobic). If a mixture of hydrophobic and hydrophilic particles are suspended in water,

Read MoreAlong with hydrophobic particles attached to bubbles by 'true flotation', hydrophilic particles are also carried to the froth by 'entrainment' in the water with the rising bubbles. The rate of water flow determines the entrainment of these unwanted particles. On the other hand, the water sprays above the froth help drainage of entrapped particles.
