History. William Haynes in 1869 patented a process for separating sulfide and gangue minerals using oil and called it bulk-oil flotation.The modern froth flotation process was invented in 1901 by C.V Potter in Australia and in 1902 by G.D Delprat in Holland. In the early times, only naturally occurring chemicals such as fatty acids and oils were used as flotation reagents in a large …

Dual-chamber flotation machines are not new. Early forms of the modern dual-chamber pneumatic cells can be traced back to the early 1960s [].Their primary characteristic is that—unlike mechanical flotation cells where the gas-particle adhesion occurs in an agitated, aerated tank—most of the gas-particle adhesion takes place in a separate, high-intensity …

Switch flotation method – Gunge sticks to the air pocket, and metal particles tumble to the base. This is the way it works. How froth floatation works. Some of the minerals in the ore are picked up by a liquid film and floated on top of a mass of fluid pulp. This process, called floatation, separates the valuable minerals from less valuable ones.

An improved method for producing high-purity quartz (Qtz) and potassium feldspar (Kfs) concentrates was developed using various chemical reagents. Froth flotation experiments on a Qtz–Kfs mixture showed that quartz could be selectively floated from Kfs in diluted hydrofluoric acid (HF) using a frother. Similarly, feldspar could be selectively floated from quartz. Recovery …
