Abstract:

Flotation is a method of mineral separation in which froth is formed in water by

a variety of reagents which traps some finely minerals while other minerals

sink. Costs of energy are important controls to improve the overall efficiency

of the process. The report discusses factors leading to improvement of the

performance of existing conventional flotation equipment and/or development of

new concepts.
