Froth flotation is a beneficiation process whereby a communited ore is slurried in an aqueous medium to form a pulp through which a gas, such as air, is sparged. One or more components of the ore is thereby selectively caused to rise to the surface of the slurry in a frothing chamber while the chamber is being sparged with gas.

The order of addition of flotation reagents appeared very important for achieving a high recovery of Iowa coal;Appalachian coals floated rapidly with only a frother (methyl isobutyl carbinol) or an alkaline solution. A small amount of an oily collector increased the recovery of Appalachian coals significantly.

Froth flotation machine is generally used for the concentration of sulphide ores. The principle behind froth flotation process is that sulphide ores are preferentially wetted by pine oil whereas gangue articles are wetted by water. In this process, the suspension of a powdered ore is made with water. Collectors like pine oil, fatty acids and ...

Froth floatation 1. Froth Floatation Presented By: Gulfam Hussain 2. Introduction Floatation is an extractive process where various minerals can be selectively extracted. Flotation is a selective process and can be used to achieve specific separations from complex ores. For example, in poly-metal ores such as Pb-Zn- Cu, floatation allows separate extraction of Pb, Cu and Zn.

Froth flotation is the process of selectively collect the hydrophobic material (water-hating) from the hydrophillic (water-loving) one. The process works by bubbling air through a slurry. The hydrophobic particles that don't want to stay in water will attach themselves to the air bubbles and get carried out of the slurry.
