Influence of Inclined Plates in the Froth Zone on the Flotation
In this study, the influence of installing a set of inclined plates within the froth zone (IFC) on flotation performance of a flotation column (FC) was investigated. The inclined plates were tilted from the center of the column to the periphery. For a comparison, a conventional FC was tested in parallel.

Phenomena in the froth phase of flotation — A review
Abstract. The froth phase is one of the main components of froth flotation as it defines both the quality of the end product and overall efficiency. The performance of the froth depends on a number of sub-processes that interact in very complex ways, and it is a great research challenge to explicitly name the role of each of these sub-processes.
