Introduction

  • Chapter
Surface Chemistry of Froth Flotation

Abstract

Heterogeneous mixtures of finely subdivided solid phases frequently require an efficient technique for Separation of components. Separations of solids can be achieved, for appropriate particle sizes denoted by diameter d, by techniques exploiting the following physical and physicochemical characteristics:
