Frothers in flotation: A review of performance and function …
Froth stability is a critical factor for flotation and even a small decrease in froth stability causes a decrease in the recovery of desirable minerals (Hadler and Cilliers, 2009, Hadler et al., 2012, Kowalczuk and Drzymala, 2017a, Kowalczuk and Drzymala, 2017). Although frothers improve flotation rate and recovery, a very high frother ...

Froth Flotation 101 in Video
Excess frothers give misleading results, in that too much froth is produced, gangue minerals may be floated, selectivity is poor, and recovery is misleading. In non-sulphide flotation, frothers used may be the same as for sulphides, or sodium oleate, Emulsol X-1, Ninol, or an alcohol derivative may be used.
