Froth Flotation Process Principle. The froth flotation process is all about exploiting the natural hydrophobicity of liberated metals and playing with making them individually hydrophobic in order to accurately separate them from one another. The particles of metal sulphide are hydrophobic.
Copper Flotation. Although basic porphyry copper flotation and metallurgy has remained virtually the same for many years, the processing equipment as well as design of the mills has continually been improved to increase production while reducing operating and maintenance costs. Also, considerable attention is paid to automatic …
Flotation is a separation process that has found prominence because of the need to treat complex or low-grade ores where the average particle size for liberation is too small for efficient gravity separation or where the gravity difference between minerals is …
Froth flotation is one of the most versatile and flexible of all mineral separation processes. Reasonable results are fairly easy to obtain but outstanding performance from a circuit requires constant attention and good understanding of the process and ore. Some of the variables that affect the operation and control of a flotation process are classified as …
Froth Flotation. Flotation is undoubtedly the most important and versatile mineral separation technique, and both its use and application are continually being expanded to treat greater tonnages and to cover new areas. Recently celebrating its first centenary, flotation has permitted the mining of low-grade and complex ore bodies which would ...
Some illustrations of state law of flotation: An iron nail sinks in water whereas a ship floats because an iron nail sinks when placed on the water's surface. Because iron has a higher density than water, the weight of the nail is greater than the upthrust of water against it.
