The purpose of conditioning is to create a suitable environment for the flotation process. Reagents such as collectors, frothers, and modifiers are added to promote the selective attachment of the desired mineral particles to air bubbles. Froth Flotation: The conditioned ore slurry is introduced into a flotation cell or a series of cells.

Seasonality in flotation performance has been reported on numerous plants processing different ore types. Since flotation is a physicochemical process, there are physical and chemical origins of seasonality. The triggers of seasonal changes are temperature and water quality (which depends on precipitations and bio-activity among other factors).

Column flotation cells, like mechanical cells, are used to perform mineral separations. Column cells do not use mechanical agitation (impellers). Instead, mixing is achieved by the turbulence provided by the rising bubbles. Columns are mostly used to produce final grade concentrates because they are capable of high selectivity.
