Principles of Froth Flotation | SpringerLink
For successful exploitation of differences in surface properties most ore minerals must be ground finer than 48–65 mesh. A light mineral such as coal (density circa 1.4) can be floated at 10 mesh, provided the bubble system on which it is borne is developed as a quiet layer of froth. Random changes of direction, acceleration, and collision ...

Introduction. Froth flotation is one of the most broadly used separation methods in the mineral processing industry. However, despite being introduced in the early 1900s and numerous years of research and development, flotation is still not fully understood and remains relatively inefficient.

Gases affect bubble sizes
All froths are stabilized by the third phase, solid particles. This is complicated in mineral flotation by collectors providing a mineral surface modified by chemicals and frothers dissolved in the liquid phase modifying the interfacial surface tension of both the liquid-solid interfaces and the liquid-gas interfaces. Lots of things to consider!

link.springerWhat size sulfide ores can be floated?For sulfide minerals, size fractions of about 20–100 μm are best for fast flotation. For industrial minerals, sizes between 30 and 200–300 μm are easily recoverable by flotation, while for potash ores, particles as coarse as 4–5 mm can be floated.

link.springerWhat are the main components of froth flotation?The solid–liquid, solid–gas, and gas–liquid interfaces are all involved in the process. The wettability of mineral surfaces by water and by water-insoluble oils, and the surface charge characteristics of mineral particles, are of primary significance to the froth flotation process.Fundamentals of froth flotation | ChemTexts
link.springerHow does a frother affect the flotation of naturally hydrophobic minerals?As mentioned above, a frother alone is often sufficient to enhance the flotation of naturally hydrophobic minerals, mainly through the influence on the size and number of gas bubbles.
