Froth flotation is influenced by several operating factors. The most important of these is pH. Interaction with collector and formation of hydrophobic film at a mineral occurs within certain pH range. In the case of sulfide minerals, at pH above a certain value, called critical pH, the collector uptake does not occur and the mineral ceases to ...
