Fundamentals of froth flotation | ChemTexts

Fine grinding is necessary to achieve mineral liberation, but grinding also produces large amounts of fines that go to froth flotation and subsequently to tailings. At this point, it may also be mentioned that most metal ores should substantially be liberated at 100 μm, but other ore types (e.g., potash) may fully liberate at very coarse sizes ...

Froth flotation of fluorite: A review

Two grinding stages are usually implemented. After the first grinding stage, a rougher flotation is launched, and then the concentrate will undergo a second grinding stage, followed by multiple cleaner flotations. Flotation is often performed with fatty acids as the collector and sodium silicate as the depressant [108, 110].

Entrainment is a process by which fine and ultrafine particles are transferred to the flotation froth from the top of the flotation pulp, and eventually discharge to the concentrate product, even when they are not attached to gas bubbles. Therefore, entrainment can be considered as a two-step process, one at the upper layer of the pulp …
