Flotation Principles

Flotation Principles. Flotation, in its latest phase, is a process of concentrating ores by frothing. When crushed ore, previously mixed with water and a relatively minute addition of oil, is agitated violently in the presence of air, a froth is formed. This froth, rising to the surface of the liquid mixture, is laden with sulphides or other ...Web

Grind Size & Liberation for Optimum Flotation Recovery

If your key mineral is sufficiently liberated, it should float and be recovered in the first few minutes in an initial %mass that stabilizes quickly. = the green curve. If, your valuable minerals are still badly locked, the longer you float, the more %mass you pull, the more your recovery increases. = the red curve.Web
