Creating a Froth for Flotation Important to the flotation process is controlling the surface tension of the interface among the bubbles, the aqueous solution, and the hydrophobed particl This is achieved by a combination of the design of the flotation machine called a flotation cell and the use of a second class of surfactants known as ....

Froth flotation is the follow-on operation, after comminution and classification, in the process of liberating and separating minerals by exploiting the differences in physical properties of the different minerals that make up an ore Froth flotation is achieved when particles are separated based on their surface potential...

Since plastics are generally hydrophobic materials, froth flotation has successfully been used for the separation of plastic materials 5,137 5 137 For example, two plastic materials which are buoyant in a specific liquid phase can be separated from one another by the addition of a wetting agent which selectively adsorbs to one of the plastics and not the other...
