A Review on Froth Washing in Flotation
No other research has been conducted on the impact of froth washing on froth rheology. Kaya [28] reported that wash water reduces bubble coalescence, which leads to improved recovery in flotation. After introducing wash water, the bubble lamella thickens. The number of large particles held in the froth increases.

Advances in control and optimisation of the froth flotation process are of great relevance since even very small increases in recovery lead to large economic benefits (Ferreira and Loveday, 2000, …
Calcite in froth flotation
Abstract. Calcite is a semi-soluble mineral that can be considered one of the main problematic gangue phases for several different types of valuable sulfides and oxides. Since froth flotation is the main beneficiation technique for upgrading these valuable minerals, calcite flotation separation has been widely investigated.

Froth flotation of lithium micas – A review
Abstract. Flotation of lithium micas and especially lepidolite is becoming a matter of increasing interest, as a result of the increased demand in lithium for the battery and other sectors of modern technology. Gangue minerals of lithium-mica deposits behave similarly during flotation, resulting in a difficult separation contrast.
