Froth Floatation Process:- The process is best suitable for sulphide ores. The process is based on different wetting characteristics of the ore and gangue particles with water and pine oil. The ore is wetted by oil and impurities are wetted by water. Ore particles are adsorbed on potassium or sodium ethyl xanthate (as collector) and come at the surface along with the froth. Froth stabilisers (cresols, aniline) stabilise the froth. So sulphide of copper can be concentrated by froth floatation process.
