[1, 2]. Figure 1 shows the principle of froth flotation. Figure 1: Principle of flotation [3]. Froth flotation can be regarded as a system [3], with various sub-processes and interactions. For flotation to take place an air bubble must be able to attach itself to a particle in the mineral suspension known as flotation pulp.

A run-away is a frightening experience for a novice flotation operator. Froth begins to flow from the surface of the cells at such a rate that launder water sprays cannot break down the froth and it then begins to overflow the launder depositing on the sump floor. Even by dropping the cell level, the froth continues to flow and cannot be stopped.

What is a Flotation Collector. For industrial sulfide mineral flotation, the xanthates and dithiophosphates are the major classes of Flotation Collectors compounds used, where M+ is either Na+ or K+, and R is a relatively short hydrocarbon chain typically containing two to five carbon atoms. The solubility, pH application range, physical state ...

Copper activation is a method commonly used in sulphide flotation for minerals such as sphalerite, pyrrhotite, pyrite, among others [Citation 146]. The aim of copper activation is to lower the Fermi level of a mineral surface with a broad forbidden zone (e.g. 3.7 eV for sphalerite), which allows xanthate to oxidise and form dixanthogen on a ...

At Silver Queen mine (Canada) a combined lime-starch-SO 2 conditioning scheme is used for copper flotation from the Pb/Zn sulphides (Bulatovic, 2007b). In the process, lime (1200 g/t) and starch (200 g/t) are used first, at pH 10.5–11.2, after which the pH is reduced to 5.5 with SO 2 (200 g/t) and the copper sulphide floated.
