Froth flotation works by exploiting the hydrophobic properties of gold molecules. First, ore is ground into an extremely fine powder. The powdered ore is mixed with water to create a slurry, which is mixed with surfactants to increase the gold's hydrophobicity.
The flotation process for the concentration of ores is a method by means of which one or more of the minerals in the ore (usually the valuable ones) are picked up by means of a liquid film and floated at the surface of a mass of fluid pulp. Here they are separated from the other minerals, which remain immersed in the body of the pulp. In general, the minerals which …
The paper is about the froth flotation process and its application. It is a metallurgical process for the extraction of metals in a pure state from their ores: especially for sulfide ores.

The two higher tiers of flotation control are advanced flotation control (AFC) and optimising flotation control (OFC). AFC involves the rejection of the effects from input disturbances to the process (e.g. a change in feed grade) and maintaining performance parameters — grade and recovery (although care should be taken when defining recovery; in …

It relies on the differences in surface properties of the minerals to be separated. ... lead, zinc), precious metal recovery (gold, silver, platinum), and even non-metallic mineral processing such as coal and phosphate beneficiation. Conclusion.
Most methods of water-based gold extraction are dependent on gold's lack of buoyancy to work. However, froth flotation uses a different property of gold to separate it from ore. Froth flotation is a method for separating hydrophobic materials (which will not mix with water) from hydrophilic materials (which readily mix with water).
To be successful in the recovery process, several of these cells placed one after another will be required to provide the necessary flotation time required to recover the amount of mineral present. There are several different cell designs, each one a little different, depending on the job that they are doing.
