Flotation in Water and Used Water Purification | SpringerLink
Flotation is commonly referred as the counterpart to sedimentation. The principle of flotation lies in attaching the suspended particles to air bubbles, thus driving them to the surface of the water against gravity for subsequent removal (Palaniandy et al. 2017; Kyzas and Matis 2018).For this, the suspended particles are subjected to a coagulation and flocculation pretreatment and then …

Bastnaesite Beneficiation by Froth Flotation and Gravity Separation
Froth flotation is a separation method that changes the surface chemistry of desired minerals, rendering them hydrophobic which allows the desired minerals to attach to air bubbles and float to the surface of the water, forming a froth. Collectors are the primary chemical added into the system to aid in flotation.
