Flotation is the process of separation of beneficial minerals from a mixture by creating froth on which minerals separate out. This is a method of mineral processing in which different minerals are separated selectively. The ores containing multiple metals, such as lead, copper and zinc, can be selectively extracted by using froth floatation.

Only the flotation process mentioned above could make this practicable; and even so, it requires large companies with huge plants, continuous working and immense capital. This explains why, in order to smelt 4 million tons of new copper in 1963, nearly 400 million tons of ore had to be handled and treated in various ways.

Copper (or metal) recovery percentages of the flotation circuits of a copper mine/mill are extremely important. For example, it is estimated that for a plant processing 50,000 tonnes of ore containing 1% copper per day, increasing the copper recovery from 86 to 87% of that contained in the ore could increase revenues by approximately $4 million ...
