1. Introduction. The flotation process is a separation technique primarily used in mineral processing for the recovery of minerals (Wills and Finch, 2016), that also finds application in other industrial processes such as wastewater treatment and paper recycling (Saththasivam et al., 2016, Vashisth et al., 2011).Separation of mineral particles by …
DetailsMIBC is a non-ionic surface-active substance that preferentially adsorbs at the liquid–gas interface and has an impact on the bubble size and its velocity. Therefore, MIBC affected the particle-bubble collision by increasing the sliding time between the bubble and the particle in a micro-flotation cell.
Details2.1. Effect of Collector Concentration on Flotation Recovery. Xanthates are the salts of xanthic acid (alkyl/aryl dithiocarbonic acid) and are formed through the replacement of two oxygen atoms in carbonic acid by sulfur and replacement of one hydrogen atom by an alkyl/aryl group. 22 They are commonly used as a standard …

DetailsMIBC absorbs at the water-air interface, aids in the production of bubbles, and stabilizes the flotation froths. Two major types of frothers in commercial use today are short chain aliphatic alcohols and polyglycols. MIBC is the most commonly used alcohol frother due to its many advantages: Fast kinetics. Forms dry but easy-to-break froths.
