Froth flotation is a process for selectively separating hydrophobic materials from hydrophilic. This is used in mineral processing, paper recycling and waste-water treatment industries. Historically this was first used in the mining industry, where it was one of the great enabling technologies of the 20th century.
The uncollected particles are removed through an underflow line. As with a flotation column, the froth may be water washed meaning the contact cell can also be used as a cleaner cell. The contact cell is mainly used in rougher flotation circuits. It is compact, highly efficient, simple to operate, and has low energy and maintenance costs.
