Chemical Engineering
  • A separation process in which suspended particles in a liquid are carried to the surface by air or gas bubbles attached to them.

A flotation agent is a surface-active substance added to improve the separation process by promoting the attachment of the particles to the bubbles. Other reagents that may be added can improve the stability of the foam to facilitate the removal of the froth of solids. See ore flotation.
