Crushing

The size of crushing equipment will depend on the size of ore and tonnage of material delivered to
the crusher.
Flotation
During the process, four things happen:
1. Reagent conditioning happens in order to achieve
hydrophobic surface charges on the desired particles
2. Collection and upward transport by bubbles in contact with
air or nitrogen
3. A stable froth formates on the surface of the flotation cell
4. Theres a separation of the mineral laden froth from the
bath

Advantages of froth flotation: first of all, almost all minerals can be separated by this process.
Then, the surface properties can be controlled and altered by the flotation reagent. Finally, this
technique is highly appropriate for the separation of sulfide minerals.
Disadvantages of the flotation process: the method is quite complex and expensive, besides being
influenced by the slime.
