what is the role of collectors in froth floatation?

Collectors as the name suggest are used for collecting the ore particles in the Sulphide ore. They are phillic to the ores. They are normally pine oil, fatty acids etc. They get separated from the froath mixture and helps to eliminate the ore from the gangue particles

Collectors are substances like pine oil,xanthates and fatty acid, which enhance the non-wettability of the minerals particles are called collectors.

To produce froth in the tank so as to separate one and impurities

Collectors are those additives which enhance particle surface.

To seprate metal from froath

In froth flotation the effectiveness of an air bubble to adhere to a particle is based on how hydrophobic the particle is. Hydrophobic particles have an affinity to air bubbles, leading to adsorption. ... Collectors are the main additives used to improve particle surfaces.

Collectors attach themselves by polar groups to grains of some mineral and from water repelling films on those minerals . Hence, these minerals attach with vowels and go to froth.

Collector or floating agent attach themselves by polar group to the granules of the ores which then become water repellent and pass on into the froth for example -sodium ethyl xanthate,pine oil ,fatty acid etc...

Collectors?are a type of surfactant that increase the natural hydrophobicity of the surface, increasing the separability of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic particles.?Collectors?either chemically bond via chemisorption to the mineral or adsorb onto the surface via physisorption.
