 — Low-cost and environment-friendly green froth flotation modifiers of plant origin, such as guar gum, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and starch, have been used in flotation of some sulfide and non-sulfide minerals. Certain green modifiers may be used as dispersants, flocculants, depressants, or activators. The functions of green modifiers in …

 — The micro-flotation of quartz particles was performed using an XFG-cell in the presence and absence of BMNBs with Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a collector. The …

 — The Froth Flotation Process is about taking advantage of the natural hydrophobicity of liberated (well ground) minerals/metals and making/playing on making them hydrophobic (water-repel) individually to carefully separate them from one another and the slurry they are in. For this purpose we use chemicals/reagents: Frothers (MIBC) is …

 — The cyclonic state micro-bubble flotation column (so called FCSMC column) was developed as shown in Fig. 1, which includes flotation column, cyclone separator and micro-bubble generation parts. The cyclone separator is a inner air-injected de-oil cyclone, which provides on the bottom of the column with a tangential inlet.

 — It is shown that mechanical stirring, variable pressure (dissolved air, jet, and vacuum), porous medium, ultrasound, and electrolysis are usually used to generate bubbles during flotation. The bubbles generated continuously evolve (i.e., deform, break up and coalesce) to form bubbles of a stable size in the flotation cell, and the bubble size ...

 — And the micro-bubbles can selectively and preferentially precipitate on the surface of hydrophobic particles, which profits from the flotation of fine minerals (Wang and Jiang 2021;Zhang et al. 2013).

 — Main uses of micro-bubbles (<100 μm) is in applications of flotation to solid/liquid or liquid/liquid separation. Thus, the distinguishing feature between conventional mineral flotation and flotation in waste treatment is that, where extremely small (or even colloidal) particles have to be floated, micro-bubbles are required. •
