iv. Froth Flotation – separations based on the surface chemistry properties of a mineral. The natural or modified surface property of the mineral determines its ability to attach to an air bubble and float to the surface. 5.1 Sorting. Sorting by hand has the longest history of all the mineral beneficiation methods and is rarely used today.

The consumption of either reagent may be anything up to 6 lb. per ton of ore. Soda ash is seldom added in excess of this amount, but lime is sometimes needed in greater quantity. Cement is occasionally substituted for lime, and other alkalis such as caustic soda find a limited application at times in place of soda ash.
The lime (CaO) content of the concentrate was further enhanced up to 44.23% at 20.73% yield using single stage column flotation. The column flotation is more efficient in comparison to the conventional cell for treating this sample. A process flowsheet was developed to treat these rejects based on the studies carried out.
Complex and non-sulfide lead–zinc ores are difficult to concentrate, but the growing demand for lead and zinc metals necessitated their beneficiation. Froth flotation is practically the most effective method in their beneficiation when optimum flotation conditions are attained. The aim of the current study is to use process mineralogy as a …
The partially purified spodumene concentrate is fed to the flotation cells for the recovery of amblygonite, quartz, and Na-feldspar.
