One of the prerequisites for a successful flotation operation is the stability of the bubble–particle aggregate. A frother has a number of functions in flotation. First, it reduces the surface tension of the air–liquid interface in order that a stable bubble is produced in the system. Secondly, it influences the kinetics of bubble ...
Turbulence leads to disruption of bubble-particle aggregates in a flotation cell. This means that the turbulence should be enough in order not to disturb bubble-particle aggregates [ 64, 65 ].
