 — What are the Variables and Factors of Flotation's Operation. The results to be obtained in flotation depend, more than in any other concentration process, on the proper coordination of a considerable number of operating variables. These variables are listed below: Ore Mineralogical character. Recoverable mineral content. Size of particles.

The benefit to mineral processors is firstly, a step change increase in the grade and recovery of valuable minerals for metals production. Secondly, substantial capex and opex savings flowing from the substantially reduced footprint that a XtractOre™ separation process plant requires, relative to conventional separation processes.

Table 1 does not contain mineral fuels and related materials such as coal and tar sands which are being increasingly treated by flotation. In 2005, about 13% (∼90 million barrels) of petroleum needs in Canada were produced from tar sands by Syncrude which is the world's largest producer of light sweet crude oil from oil sands and operates the largest oil sand …
