The foundation of good flotation
Chemical reagents produce the hydrophobic film on the mineral particle surfaces. It is the primary driving force that initiates the flotation process. Collectors selectively coat the surface of one mineral we want to float, making it hydrophobic. The particles are more willing to attach to a bubble and float out of the bulk.

Gold flotation. Flotation process is widely used for lode gold processing. In most cases, the flotation method has a good effect in sulfide-containing gold ore with high floatability. In addition, the flotation process is also used for polymetallic gold-bearing ores such as gold-copper, gold-lead, gold-copper-lead-zinc-sulfur ore.
Frothers
Flotation. A. Gupta, D.S. Yan, in Mineral Processing Design and Operation, 2006 16.1.2 Frothers. Frothers are surfactants, usually organic heteropolar compounds such as alcohols or polyglycol ethers. Due to the heteropolar nature, the frother adsorbs at the air/water interface and as a result, lowers the water surface tension.
Flotation | SpringerLink
Flotation. According to the difference in physicochemical properties of mineral particle surfaces, flotation is the method that selectively enriches the target minerals in the pulp at the gas-liquid interface and separates them from the pulp, thus realizing the mineral separation. It is also known as floating separation.
