Flotation | SpringerLink
Flotation. According to the difference in physicochemical properties of mineral particle surfaces, flotation is the method that selectively enriches the target minerals in the pulp at the gas-liquid interface and separates them from the pulp, thus realizing the mineral separation. It is also known as floating separation.
