प्रश्न
Write the principle behind the froth floatation process. What is the role of collectors in this process?
उत्तर
The principle behind the froth floatation process is that there is a difference between the wettability of gangue and mineral particles. Mineral and gangue particles are separated by wetting the mineral particles with oil and the gangue particles with water.
Collectors like pine oil and fatty acids enhance the non-wettability of mineral particles.
