1. Introduction. Froth flotation was commercially introduced early in the 20th century. Now, almost 100 years later, it is the most important and widely used separating method for minerals.In its application to mineral flotation, the ore is first ground in water to a certain size to produce a suspension which is then subjected to vigorous mixing in a suitable vessel.

Conditions of operation of froth-flotation. Froth-flotation is in general effective only on ores ground to pass 0.3-mm. aperture or less and the agitation-froth and bubble-column processes are most effectively practiced when the bulk of the feed will pass a 0.074-mm. screen. In these latter processes the finely pulverized ore must be in the ...
