Frothers
Frothers act to stabilise air bubbles so they remain well-dispersed in the slurry and form a stable froth layer that can be removed before the bubbles burst.

Froth flotation is a highly versatile method for physically separating particles based on differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to specific mineral surfaces in a mineral/water slurry.
The particles with attached air bubbles are then carried to the surface and removed, while the particles that remain completely wetted stay in the liquid phase.
The most commonly used frothers are alcohols and polypropylene glycols. The polypropylene glycols, in particular, are very versatile and can be tailored to give a wide range of froth properties.
