Write the principle behind the froth floatation process. What is the role of collectors in this process ? |
|
Answer» This method is based upon the preferential wetting of mineral/ore particles by oil and gangue by water. Collectors enhance non- wettability of the mineral ore particles to float. Detailed Answer: Froth flotation is a process for selectively separating hydrophobic materials from hydrophilic by preferential wetting of mineral or ore particles by oil and gangue (impurities) by water. Collectors enhance the non-wettability of the mineral particles in the froth floatation process. |
