Review Questions: Flotation

Froth flotation is a technique used to separate minerals and is most suitable for treating sulfide ores. Chemicals called collectors are added to cause minerals to adhere to air bubbles, while frothers are added to help form and stabilize the froth. Pine oil acts as a frother in froth flotation. Froth flotation is the most suitable technique for cleaning fine coal dust smaller than 0.5 millimeters.
