1. Introduction. Froth flotation is an essential method to collect valuable minerals from gangue minerals, and is an industrial process involved with long time delay and multiple subprocesses (Aldrich et al., 2010, Mesa and Brito-Parada, 2019, Quintanilla et al., 2021, Shean and Cilliers, 2011).In the zinc flotation process, the zinc tailing is …

The froth recovery was then calculated using Eq. (8). The estimate of the froth recovery in the rougher cell was 40.8% and 91.6% in the scavenger cell. The large difference in the froth recovery values measured was due to the difference in the froth depths in each of the cells (rougher 50 cm; scavenger 20 cm).
