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.
Without this flotation step, the fine coal would upset the specific gravity range of the natural media and create a large circulating load of coal fines in the media. The media is a closely controlled fraction from the tailings produced by the main flotation section with respect to density and size ( — 60, + 250 mesh).
An efficient flotation separation process is mostly governed by variables from two fundamental aspects: surface chemistry, and hydrodynamics. Judging from the numerous research work reported in the open literature, it can be seen that significant progress has been made of flotation chemistry; however, flotation hydrodynamics …
In 1975 Miller developed a two stage froth flotation process in which first conventional flotation of coal was carried out and the concentrate thus obtained was subjected to re-flotation of pyrite.

Coal flotation of fine material has both economical and environmental benefits by recovering as much coal as possible from run-of-mine coal and by reducing air and water pollution due to the elimination of sulfur from clean coal and reduction in the solid amount which goes into the stream or in recirculating plant water.
Coal is crushed in the froth flotation process in order to separate the coal particles from the mineral content. After that, air bubbles are added to the coal slurry by a process called flotation. Because they are hydrophobic, the coal particles stick to the air bubbles and froth up to the surface, leaving the mineral stuff in the slurry.
