Flotation is an incredibly robust and versatile process that is well accepted around the world. It works equally well on mixed sulfide, oxide, silicate and other ores. It relies on generating a population of bubbles of suitable size that can carry the hydrophobic target mineral (usually but not exclusively sulfide minerals) up to be recovered ...
