The relationship between enthalpy of immersion, and its derived wettability parameters, to flotation response

The wettability of mineral surfaces plays an important role in the flotation process. A wettable mineral is hydrophilic while a non-wettable mineral is hydrophobic. In the flotation process, sufficiently hydrophobic particles are collected by rising air bubbles and they report to the concentrate. On...
