Frother agent addition improved material recovery in the froth, while collector addition influenced the separation efficiency and enhanced graphite recovery. Pre-treatment, particularly sonication, was found to break down agglomerates and further improve separation. Multi-step flotation increased the purity of recovered fractions.

The principle behind froth flotation is the attachment of the hydrophobic particles to air bubbles to be floated and recovered to the concentrate, while the hydrophilic particles are wetted by water and stay in the liquid phase [106]. The wettability (adhesion to water) behavior of particles is defined by surface energy.

Abstract. The froth phase is one of the main components of froth flotation as it defines both the quality of the end product and overall efficiency. The performance of the froth depends on a number of sub-processes that interact in very complex ways, and it is a great research challenge to explicitly name the role of each of these sub-processes.

Abstract. Flotation of lithium micas and especially lepidolite is becoming a matter of increasing interest, as a result of the increased demand in lithium for the battery and other sectors of modern technology. Gangue minerals of lithium-mica deposits behave similarly during flotation, resulting in a difficult separation contrast.
