Froth floatation is a process used to separate materials based on their relative affinity for air bubbles. It is commonly used in the mining industry to separate valuable minerals from unwanted material or other valuable minerals. The process involves the introduction of air bubbles into a mixture of finely ground ore and water. The lighter particles that make up the material are attracted to the air bubbles and float to the surface, forming a froth. The heavier particles sink to the bottom of the mixture. The froth is skimmed off the surface, and the remaining material is pumped away.
