Separation of plastic wastes using froth flotation – An overview

This process usually involves size reduction, cleaning, and separation, using traditional mineral processing methods such as flotation, gravity, and electrostatic separation, to produce a single polymer plastic material. This single polymer material is then milled into granulated plastic which is used to produce new products.

Copper Flotation

Copper Flotation Process Summary. The flowsheet in this study illustrates the modern approach to porphyry copper treatment throughout the industry. Each plant will through necessity have somewhat different arrangements or methods for accomplishing the same thing and reliable ore test data are used in most every case to plan the flowsheet …

Froth Flotation of Iron Ores

With the depleting reserves of high-grade iron ore in the world, froth flotation has become increasingly important to process intermediate- and low-grade iron ore in an attempt to meet the rapidly growing demand on the international market. In over half a century's practice in the iron ore industry, froth flotation has been established as an …

Froth Flotation Principles

The floatation process at present finds its greatest scope in recovery from ores whose predominant values are associated both chemically and physically with sulphides. The major proportion of the present day world's base metal production is procured by the flotation process. Since its inception flotation has been responsible for …
