Synopsis

Master flotation for ore concentration with clear, practical guidance.

This nonfic­tion work explains how froth flotation is used to separate valuable minerals from gangue, using oil, air bubbles, and controlled reagents to lift ore to the surface.

Written for students and practitioners, the book covers the main ideas, classifications, and theory behind flotation. It also discusses how to handle oxidized ores, the role of oils and other reagents, and practical tests and costs involved in applying the process to real ore samples.

  • Definition and scope of flotation in ore concentration
  • Classification of flotation methods and their practical differences
  • Foundational theory and the role of reagents and dielectric films
