Entrainment of Gangue Minerals in Froth Flotation
Entrainment is a process by which fine and ultrafine particles are transferred to the flotation froth from the top of the flotation pulp, and eventually discharge to the concentrate product, even when they are not attached to gas bubbles. Therefore, entrainment can be considered as a two-step process, one at the upper layer of the pulp …

The effect of oxidized starches on chalcopyrite flotation
It can be seen that from the onset of flotation the order of magnitude of chalcopyrite recovery is as follows: Ox 5/120 (39%) > Ox 10/120 (25%) > Ox 1/120 (15%). The depressive effects of Ox 1/120 and Ox 10/120 on the flotation of carbonaceous gangue (such as graphite) revealed that these derivatives were better than when starch was.
