An inherent limitation with the flotation of fine partcles in conventional cells is recovery of hydrophilic (gangue) particles by mechanical entrainment in the water reporting to the froth. The method of minimizing entrainment is to create a 5-3Ocm thick froth at the slurry surface. The froth permits the gangue to drain back to the pulp while

The froth of a flotation column is usually . water washed, with approximately as much wash water as there is water reporting to the froth. The water is most commonly added via pans, perforated with 4-8 mm diameter holes, located 20-30 cm above the froth, thus generating a "rain" of water onto the surface of the froth.

Film-flotation, as exemplified in the Macquisten and in the "Wood machines, does not seem to have the same wide application as does froth-flotation; hence little need be said about them. FILM-FLOTATION. Macquisten tubes have such small capacity that a single tube is small enough for test-work on a few pounds of ore at a time (see Fig. 54).

Flotation is known as a separation process, based on the introduction of gas bubbles as the transport medium. Suspended particulate matter, being hydrophobic or conditioned to be so, is then attach to the bubbles and moves toward the water solution surface—i.e., contrary to the direction of gravity [1,2].Different bubble generation …

The major advantage of froth flotation is that it is better at recovering fine particles than gravity separation, as the froth allows fine particles to float to the surface, while gravity separation is limited to heavier particles. Additionally, froth flotation requires less energy than gravity separation, making it a more cost-effective option.
