DetailsAlthough frothers improve flotation rate and recovery, a very high frother concentration can lead to negative effects. It has been found that an increase in frother dosage leads to less selective flotation, irrespective of the frother used (Farrokhpay, 2011, Gupta et al., 2007b, Harvey et al., 2005, Subrahmanyam and Forssberg, 1988). …
