FOAM FLOTATION PROCESS, STAGES AND TECHNOLOGICAL PARAMETERS

The article is about foam flotation process and its application. This includes the processes that follow the metallurgical process for extraction. After mining processes in the mine, the rock is taken to beneficiation plants. metals in their pure state from their ores: especially for sulphide ores. Foam flotation is usually one of the steps is performed prior to dissolution and is related to the surface chemistry of the fluids and minerals being separated. This the process requires certain adjustments involving various components. Surfactants play the most important role.  Different types of surfactants are used in different ways and each of them plays a crucial role: collectors, foams, foam stabilizers, depressants and activators, pH regulators, etc. The process of flotation of sulphide ores It should be studied with chemical and electrochemical phenomena taking into account interphase energies. Its wide application in the industrial field, this process is the flotation of iron ores, and there are two types: direct and reverse flotation. The next one again based on two different types such as cationic and anionic reverse flotation. All these processes are of different types flotation reagents are used. Another application is the separation of malachite and azurite ores using sulfidization flotation.
