Froth flotation is a process for selectively separating hydrophobic materials from hydrophilic. This is used in mineral processing, paper recycling and waste-water treatment industries. Historically this was first used in the mining industry, where it was one of the great enabling technologies of the 20th century. It has been described as "the single most …

Mechanism of Froth Flotation Process. Based on how well the ore can be wetted, froth flotation is used to separate the good from the bad. How well they can be wet is the difference between the 2 types. Hydrophobic. Hydrophilic. If the minerals are Hydrophobic, they will only be drawn to the froth and not the water.

Frothers produce a froth which is strong enough in the flotation cell to support the floated Cu minerals, but breaks down quickly once the froth and its attached minerals overflow the cell. Thousands of compounds have been developed as frothers over the years. Most are either short chain aliphatic alcohols (linear, branched, or MIBC) or ...
