How Froth Flotation Works
How Froth Flotation Works. To start with I will give you a simplified description of how selective froth flotation works, lets start over again with a description of the equipment and why it works. When the grinding circuit is finished with the ore it will be ground very fine and the density of the slurry will be between 30% to 45% solids.

The Extraction of Copper
Chalcopyrite (also known as copper pyrites) and similar sulfide ores are the commonest ores of copper. The ores typically contain low percentages of copper and have to be concentrated before refining (e.g., via froth flotation). Figure 1: Chalcopyrite extracted from Zacatecas, Mexico. from Rob Lavinsky (iRocks) under a CC-BY-SA …

Flotation Froth
The froth flotation technique was originally developed in about 1910 to raise the copper concentrations of the strip-mined ores of Bingham Canyon, near Salt Lake City [9], and was further perfected for the differential separation of lead, zinc, and iron sulfides at Trail, B.C., at about the same time [10].

Recovering Gold through the Froth Flotation Process
Pre-19th century placer mining operations used mercury to dissolve the gold in crushed ore, making it easier to recover. Later innovations include the MacArthur-Forrest Process and borax flux extraction. However, one of the most interesting methods is froth flotation. Froth flotation works by exploiting the hydrophobic properties of gold molecules.
