Add enough collector and you will float the Titanic back to surface. High dosage of collector can undo any careful use of depressant you had used. The extra surface area also means a better contact being made between the collector and the air. This makes a more stable surface. But because the majority of the new material, that is …

Therefore, in practical reagent dosage changes, the control of reagents is based on human observation of the froth surface. In recent years, machine vision-based froth flotation analysis has attracted great interest from both academic and industrial researchers (Zhu et al., 2014, Bergh and Yianatos, 2011).

Unlike its chemical counterpart, biological flotation uses microorganisms and bio-metabolites to separate and concentrate minerals from complex ores (Luque Consuegra et al. 2020). Although it is still in its infancy, this approach can be considered an alternative solution to avoid environmental and safety issues (Dwyer et al. 2012).
