Introduction. Froth flotation is the most used separation process in the mineral industry (Nguyen and Schulze, 2003, Wu et al., 2016) and is used to separate the ore into valuable mineral concentrates and tailings (gangue minerals) based on physicochemical principles (Yalcin and Kelebek, 2011, Kawatra, 2002, Wang et al., 2016).Web
