The flotation process and related flotation cells are widely used for treating metallic and nonmetallic ores and in addition, it is receiving an ever widening application in other industries. A greater tonnage of ore is treated by flotation than by any other single process. Practically all the metallic minerals are being recovered by the flotation …
