Froth Flotation Process
The Froth Flotation Process is about taking advantage of the natural hydrophobicity of liberated (well ground) minerals/metals and making/playing on making them hydrophobic (water-repel) individually to carefully separate them from one another and the slurry they are in. For this purpose we use chemicals/reagents: Frothers (MIBC) is …

Effective harvesting of low surface-hydrophobicity microalgae by froth
Effective harvesting of microalgae by coagulation–flotation. Algal cells characterization results showed that the combined use of CTAB and Al3+ largely enhanced the algal floc size, and exhibited higher degree of hydrophobicity, which favoured the flotation, and can be interpreted by DLVO (Derjaguin, Landau, Verwey and Overbeek) …
