Flotation Fundamentals
In Flotation Fundamentals, the presence of the collector significantly increases the contact angle, indicating enhanced particle-bubble contact.Typical materials demonstrating hydrophobicity will have contact angles between 45 and 90 degrees. The separation of one component from another by flotation depends on the relative water …

MICA FLOTATION. The thickened deslimed pulp at 50% solids is conditioned with sulphuric acid for about 3 minutes at a pH of 1.5 to 2.0. This usually requires from 1 to 5 lbs. of sulphuric acid per ton of ore. After the short acid conditioning step the balance of the mica flotation reagents are added to the second conditioner tank.
