DetailsFroth flotation is a highly versatile method for physically separating particles based on differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to specific mineral surfaces in a mineral/water slurry. The particles with attached air bubbles are then carried to the surface and removed, while the particles that remain completely wetted stay in the liquid phase.

Abstract. The desulfurization of high-sulfur bauxite via flotation is more difficult than conventional sulphide, since the finely disseminated sulphide in the high-sulfur bauxite can lead to excessive particle entrainment, increase of froth, and low separation efficiency. Acidification of high-sulfur bauxite resulting in changes in mineral ...
