ادامه مطلبThis slurry (called pulp) of hydrophobic particles and hydrophilic particles is introduced to flotation cell tanks that are aerated to produce bubbles. The hydrophobic particles attach to the air bubbles, which rise to the surface, forming a froth. The froth is removed from the cell, producing a concentrate of the target mineral.
