Flotation Cells (Froth Flotation) were developed to separate and recover high value Sulphide ores from low grade ore bodies. The ore is crushed and milled at the concentrator in a process known as comminution, where the mineral is in suspension in slurry. The particle size for mineral being recovered is generally less than <0.1mm.
