1. Introduction. Flotation is a physico-chemical separation process that utilizes the difference in surface properties of the valuable minerals and the unwanted gangue minerals (Wills and Napier-Munn, 2006).In a flotation cell, already conditioned fine particles with reagents (i.e. collectors and frothers) are subjected to air bubbles and the …
