Design, Modeling, Optimization and Control of Flotation Process
The ultimate goal of a flotation process is to achieve the economically optimum combination of the desired mineral grade and recovery in the final concentrate from a feed of varying composition. The industrial operation of froth flotation faces many challenges, such as sudden decreases in the recovery and grade of recovered materials. ...

Explaining the Process of Froth Flotation
The flotation process for the concentration of ores is a method by means of which one or more of the minerals in the ore (usually the valuable ones) are picked up by means of a liquid film and floated at the surface of a mass of fluid pulp. Here they are separated from the other minerals, which remain immersed in the body of the pulp. In …
