The flotation

Froth flotation is a technique that enables solids to be separated from others by using the differences in their surface properties (hydrophobicity >< hydrophilic) when put in the presence of air in a stirred tank. The material, pulped after wet grinding to less than 250 µm, is conditioned through the addition of a chemical reagent called a collector, whose role is to selectively make the floating mineral surface hydrophobic.

CTP has a range of equipment from laboratory to pilot scale for batch on continuous operation.
