The role of pine oil in froth floatation process is to enhance the non-wettability of
mineral particles in froth
mineral particles in water
gangue particles in froth
gangue particles in water
As we learnt
Frothers -
They generate a stable froth which rises to the top of the tank
- wherein
Example of frother is pine oil, Eucalyptus oil etc.
Pine oil enhances non-wettability of mineral particles towards water.
