Froth is generated on the top of a flotation cell during the processing of ore containing platinum- and palladium-bearing minerals. Flotation concentrates hydrophobic particles from hydrophilic ones.
Flotation Cells
The flotation process occurs commercially in banks of cells. The cells concentrate valuable minerals from waste minerals to allow efficient downstream processing.
