Froth stability is a critical factor for flotation and even a small decrease in froth stability causes a decrease in the recovery of desirable minerals (Hadler and Cilliers, 2009, Hadler et al., 2012, Kowalczuk and Drzymala, 2017a, Kowalczuk and Drzymala, 2017). Although frothers improve flotation rate and recovery, a very high frother ...

An improved method for producing high-purity quartz (Qtz) and potassium feldspar (Kfs) concentrates was developed using various chemical reagents. Froth flotation experiments on a Qtz–Kfs mixture showed that quartz could be selectively floated from Kfs in diluted hydrofluoric acid (HF) using a frother. Similarly, feldspar could be …

Principle of froth flotation. The differences in physicochemical surface qualities of distinct minerals are used in froth flotation. Differences in surface qualities between the minerals inside the flotation pulp become obvious after reagent treatment, and for flotation to occur, an air bubble must be able to attach itself to a particle and raise it …

This paper modifies an experimental system previously used by Verrelli et al. to investigate particle–bubble attachment. Three different flow configuration cases were studied to investigate the effects of flow environment on the particle–bubble interactions and to model a situation more characteristic of real industrial froth flotation processes.
