The two anionic flotation routes developed by Hanna Mining and Cyanamid, i.e. direct anionic flotation and reverse anionic flotation routes, are also being used in the iron ore industry. The history of iron ore flotation started with direct flotation of iron oxides using anionic collectors such as petroleum sulphonate, fatty acids and hydroxamates.

AMIT 145: Lesson 5 Froth Flotation. Froth flotation is a physico-chemical separation process. Separation is principally based on differences in surface hydrophobicity. However, particle size and density have a significant impact. Initial flotation patent and application was developed for graphite by the Bessel brothers (1877).

Pre-19th century placer mining operations used mercury to dissolve the gold in crushed ore, making it easier to recover. Later innovations include the MacArthur-Forrest Process and borax flux extraction. However, one of the most interesting methods is froth flotation. Froth flotation works by exploiting the hydrophobic properties of gold molecules.
