Modelling for froth flotation control: A review
1. Introduction. Froth flotation is the largest tonnage separation in mineral processing by which valuable mineral is separated from waste rock. Advances in control and optimisation of the froth flotation process are of great relevance since even very small increases in recovery lead to large economic benefits (Ferreira and Loveday, 2000, …

EVALUATION OF FROTHER PERFORMANCE IN COAL FLOTATION…
Separation efficiency in flotation depends, to a considerable extent, on the efficiency of the frother used. A successful frother must achieve a delicate balance between froth stability and non-persistency. Ideally, the frother is not supposed to influence the state of the surface of the coal and minerals.

Froth-based modeling and control of a batch flotation process
Froth flotation is a physiochemical process for separating valuable and unwanted gangue minerals ( Napier-Munn and Wills 2011 ). Effective flotation-system control is difficult to achieve, owing to the nonlinear, dynamic nature of the process ( Bergh and Yianatos, 2011, Bonifazi et al., 2002, Shean and Cilliers, 2011 ).
