Abstract. In mineral flotation, rheological problems have limited the efficient upgrading of low-grade and complex ores. Since pulp and froth rheology are deemed to play different roles in influencing the separation performance, in this paper, a brief review on pulp and froth rheology in flotation is provided, with an objective of developing a basic understanding of rheology in flotation.

Froth flotation is mainly operated under two common techniques : 1. Direct floatation technique - In this method, the mineral sticks to the air bubble and the remaining gangue settles down at the bottom. 2. Reverse floatation technique - In this method, the gangue sticks to the air bubble and ore particles settle down in the bottom.

Up to 80% of cadmium, copper, lead and zinc could be concentrated in the froth layer which represented only 30% of the total mass. The maximum specificity for heavy metals, defined as the concentrating factor, was obtained at pH 8-9. The maximum recovery of heavy metals on the other hand was found to be reached at elevated pH values (pH 12).

A common depressant used in the froth floatation of lead sulphide is sodium cyanide. When the ore containing ZnS and PbS is subjected to froth floatation process in the presence of NaCN, then only PbS forms the froth. This happens because NaCN reacts with ZnS to form Na2 [Zn (CN)4]. 4NaCN + ZnS -----> Na2 [Zn (CN)4] + Na2S. Suggest Corrections. 0.

Froth flotation is a traditional mineral beneficiation technique. The process involves adding chemicals to a slurry that alters the surfaces of milled particles so that they become hydrophobic. Air in the form of bubbles picks up the hydrophobic particles as they rise to the top of the pulp and form a froth.
