Modifying Agents. The chemical and physical additives discussed in this section are variously described in flotation literature as regulators, conditioners or more specifically as depressants, activators, wetting agents, flocculants and dispersants. The practical requirement from the operator’s viewpoint is the ability of the additive to sharpen selectivity as between the mineral species floated and that (or those) left in the pulp. ... The regulating chemicals used in flotation stimulate the desired surface activity of specific minerals in the pulp. Modifying agents therefore either reinforce or make possible the adsorption of collectors in the case of floating species, or aid hydration if they are active depressants. 5, record 5, English, - modifying%20agent

Un angle de mouillage sortant généralement mesuré est celui qui correspond à une extraction effectuée perpendiculairement à la surface de la phase liquide. Dans le cas d'une surface solide, les angles de mouillage rentrant et sortant vis-à-vis d'une phase liquide sont différents. La différence résulte de mesures d'angles effectuées dans des domaines de vitesse de pénétration et d'extraction, précisées par les méthodes d'essais. 2, record 15, French, - angle%20de%20mouillage%20sortant

Flotation is used for selective separation and concentration of certain solids contained in a pulp. For selective separation, use is made of collector reagents hydrophobes in particular. Their purpose is to increase the repulsion to water of the ore to be selected. The gangue depressants will have the opposite purpose of increasing the wettability properties of the mass of materials that are not required. 1, record 17, English, - gangue%20depressant
