Jan 01 2012 Froth flotation is a surface chemistrybased unit operation that involves the capture of hydrophobic particles by air bubbles in aqueous slurry followed by levitation and collection in a froth layer Conversely because hydrophilic particles do not adhere to air bubbles they are likely to sink and go to the underflow of the flotation cell 3 Jan 07 2019 Methods to determine frother functions control of bubble size and froth properties are now widely used Some collectors also exhibit frother functions which are less understood Using a waterair system in a minimechanical flotation cell setup this paper determines bubble size and water overflow rate for three amine collectors one primary amine dodecylamine DDA and two commercial
