CustoFroth^® Flotation Frothers in Froth Flotation

The importance of froth flotation frothers / surfactants in mineral processing is widely acknowledged in the mining industry. CustoFroth® flotation frothers / surfactants perform the following key functions during the flotation process:

• Reduce surface tension of the liquid-gas interface to enable froth formation.
• Hinder coalescence to stabilize bubble size.
• Facilitate hydrophobic particle adhesion to air bubbles.

During froth flotation, our tailor-made CustoFroth® frothers / surfactants create the ideal hydrodynamic conditions (such as bubble size and gas holdup) needed within the pulp in the froth flotation cell. They generate stable froth to hold collected minerals on top of the pulp that is mobile enough for removal, and decay quickly to assist with downstream operations. These characteristics help enhance the overall grade and recovery that can be realized from the flotation cell or circuit.

CustoFroth® flotation frothers / surfactants are custom-formulated blends engineered to optimize effectiveness in all types of flotation systems, especially in phosphate and other industrial mineral flotation operations.
