ABSTRACT:
A method of separating desired material from undesired material is provided. The method is performed by forming a slurry of material and introducing it into a specially designed flotation reactor chamber. A foam is generated and introduced into the reactor chamber and dispersed into the slurry. A stream of water is provided to separate the undesired portion of the material from the desired portion of the material that has adhered to the bubbles in the foam.
