• A Froth Flotation operation can consume enormous volumes of fresh water, 10 Freeport McMoran plants alone used 185 billion gallons of water in 2013. • These operations often occur in arid areas where water can be in short supply, thus using such quantities can mean that living things may suffer.
Jan 20, 2021· 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 what allows the formation of air bubbles.

What is Froth Flotation Process? Froth flotation is one of the most popular operational processes for mineral beneficiation. In ore/mineral beneficiation, froth flotation is a method by which commercially important minerals are separated from impurities and other minerals by collecting them on the surface of a froth layer.
The fine particles are fed to a flotation cell ( 7 ) in the normal manner, while the coarse particles are mixed with wash water ( 16 ) and distributed onto or into the froth layer ( 10 ) by wash water distribution apparatus ( 19, 20 ). Alternative variations of wash water distribution apparatus able to handle coarse particles are also described.
