A chieving the basic frothing concept of separating hydrophobic material from hydrophilic material – where the former repels water and the latter attaches itself to water – is no easy feat. "You want the good minerals, the hydrophobic material, to go up to the top in larger bubbles and the bad minerals to fall to the bottom," says Tom Fulton, operations manager for …
