What flotation does
Flotation separates valuable minerals from waste. Ground ore is mixed with water and reagents, and air is bubbled through the mixture. Selected minerals attach to the bubbles and rise to the surface as a froth, which is collected.
Why test at laboratory scale
Laboratory-scale flotation tests let you see how an ore responds before investing in a plant. Results help to optimize the recovery of sulphide and gold-bearing ores.
