Abstract. The froth phase is one of the main components of froth flotation as it defines both the quality of the end product and overall efficiency. The performance of the froth depends on a number of sub-processes that interact in very complex ways, and it is a great research challenge to explicitly name the role of each of these sub-processes.

Since most of the hydrocarbon oils are practically insoluble in water, they are present in the form of micron-sized oil drops in emulsions by agitation (Rubio et al., 2007) and/or ultrasonication (Song et al., 2012). Oils with relatively higher dispersibility in water exhibit better froth flotation results (Lin et al., 2017). The collector ...

Understanding Froth Flotation. Froth flotation, often referred to as simply "flotation," is a highly effective mineral separation process that capitalizes on the inherent differences in surface properties among various minerals. This process begins with ore preparation, where the ore is crushed and ground into fine particles.

Different authors have proposed flotation since its application to wastewater treatment has showed technical and economical advantages (Rubio et al., 2002).The APF or carrier flotation process is a variant of the adsorbing colloid flotation process, and employs particles as carrier-sorbing (absorbing and/or adsorbing) material for the …
