Flotation Process uses physical and chemical properties differences of
mineral surface in the mineral particles sorting process, formerly known as
flotation method, which is the most widely used method of mineral processing.
Almost all the ore can use the flotation method, such as gold, silver mine,
galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, copper-fai, molybdenite, nickel sulfide
minerals; such as pyrite, malachite, white lead, zinc ling, hemimorphite and
mine hematite, cassiterite, wolframite, ilmenite, beryl, spodumene, and rare
earth minerals, uranium ore and other minerals of the sorting; graphite, sulfur,
diamonds, quartz, mica, feldspar and other non-metallic minerals and silicate
minerals and fluorite, apatite, barite, and other non-metallic mineral salts and
potassium salt, rock salt and other mineral salts. Another important purpose of
the flotation process is to reduce the fine coal ash from coal and to remove
fine-grained pyrite. With flotation processing more symbiotic metal minerals,
such as from copper, lead, zinc, and other metal ores separate copper, lead,
zinc and pyrite, and other concentrate, and can reach a very high sorting
