If you are talking about mining or other types of industrial processes it is basically a series of tanks in which (in my personal experience) minerals are first ground very fine, mixed with water, then chemical agents which bind to the desired minerals are then added. these chemicals make the particles you desire to collect hydrophobic (they repel water, or float). this mixture is then agitated and a frothing agent is introduced creating bubbles in the solution. these bubbles carry the desired particles on the surface and are collected as the runoff from the cells.

What is froth flotation?
Froth flotation is a process for selectively separating hydrophobic materials from hydrophobic. This is used in several processing industries. Historically this was first used in the mining industry.
How do you extract gold from copper ore?
Typically, you would use a flotation process to concentrate the copper and gold. Concentrate would be shipped to smelter for recovery of metals.
How do you refine silver?
Most silver is obtained from refining other metals. It's extracted through a flotation process. Then the silver itself is refined through smelting.
What Property is used in froth flotation?
properties used in froth flotation include, surface area, density of particles
Which ores are concentrated by froth flotation process?
the metal galena(PbS)and zinc blende(ZnS) are concentrated...... by ranvir..... hi friends ...i am not sure about the ans...if wrong pls excuse me...
What has the author Arthur William Fahrenwald written?
Arthur William Fahrenwald has written: 'Testing for the flotation process' -- subject(s): Flotation
What is flotate in?
Flotation is a process of separation of an useful mineral from gangue.
Tiny bubbles clean oil from water?
Process is called flotation
How is phosphorus obtained?
Phosphorus is obtained from phosphate deposits. Phosphate ore beneficiation methods have been continuously enriched in the development. The traditional beneficiation methods include: scrubbing and desliming process, gravity separation, flotation, gravity-magnetic-flotation combined process and roasting process. Scrubbing and desliming process: for ores with a high degree of weathering. Gravity separation: The proportion of main gangue minerals in phosphate rock is similar to that of apatite. In industrial practice, dense medium separation is mainly used. Flotation: Flotation has always been the main method for beneficiation of phosphate ore, especially for complex and difficult ores. Such as positive flotation, single reverse flotation, positive one negative (negative one positive) flotation, double reverse flotation. Roasting method: It is a fairly mature method used in industry to completely remove carbonate from phosphorite ore.

What is flotation in separating mixture?
In chemistry, the flotation method is used to separate substances that repel water and substances that is attracted to water. It has a variety of applications and is often used to extract mineral ores from its surroundings.
What is the process in which rocks change shape is called deformation deposition composition or flotation?
deformation
