|  | The reagents used in the flotation process  are called flotation reagents. The function of the flotation reagents is mainly  to improve the hydrophobicity of the mineral surface and its firmness on the  bubbles. Flotation agents can be divided into five categories according to  their use: collectors, foaming agents, activators, inhibitors, regulators.  Therefore, one of the purposes of using flotation reagents in the flotation  process is to increase the difference in hydrophobicity between mineral  particles. This article analyzes common flotation reagents and their usage, and  then elaborates the related applications of flotation reagents. Source: https://www.doc88.com/p-9833442428160.html        |  |
