Fundamental Understanding of the Flotation Chemistry of Rare Earth …
Flotation is a physico-chemical process that is based on differences in hydrophobicity and is used to separate minerals in a slurry of finely ground ore [ 8 ]. Typically, the desired (valuable) minerals are rendered hydrophobic and the gangue (waste) minerals are made hydrophilic.
