Resumé

Flotation technology is widely used to recover and concentrate minerals from the ores. The technique involves, inducing surface hydrophobicity to a mineral selectively and collect the same through air bubbles from aqueous phase. For the efficient design of flotation processes and equipment, an in-depth understanding of hydrophobic hydration of floatable mineral particles is essential. The different theories associated with and the underlying mechanisms are surveyed in this paper.Cite this Article D.M.R. Sekhar. Surface Chemistry of Flotation.
