The metallurgical performance of a flotation process can be altered due to mineralogy, texture changes, and degree of liberation of the minerals in the ore. Young et al. ( Citation 1997 ) suggested a size-by-size mineralogical approach to identify and solve the problem related to ore quality and flotation performance in long term.Web

The adsorption of BioS on hydrophobic solids can alter the flotation process via the decrease in surface hydrophobicity of the ore and, consequently the difficulty of attaching to an air bubble. However, it can play an essential role in the depression of valuable ore in the case of reverse flotation of valuable elements.Web
