Wood processing waste : The forestry industry harvests and collects wood for two major ends : fiber for pulp(and eventually paper) and for chip board and the stronger oriented strand board(OSB), as well as lumber for the construction industry.... There is, however, a fairly significant portion of the timber that is transported to mills that goes to waste : cut-ends, sawdust, rejected wood that is too warped, pulp batches that are unsaleable.... Wood processing waste can be used as brute biomass and burned for thermal electricity generation. 3, record 1, English, - wood%20processing%20residues

La flottation consiste à séparer, dans une série de cellules, les minéraux valorisables en les rendant hydrophobes. De l'air est injecté au fond des cellules, et la formation et la stabilité de bulles d'air sont favorisées par l'emploi de moussants (huile de pins, alcools, acide crésylique). Le travail de séparation est mené à bien grâce à des réactifs à action spécifique, introduits dans le circuit : les collecteurs (substances organiques à base d'amines ou de xanthates : huiles de pétrole) enduisent sélectivement la particule de substance utile pour la faire s'attacher aux bulles produites et l'emmener en surface, flotter sur les mousses qui l'entraîneront hors de l'appareil [...] 2, record 2, French, - huile%20pour%20flottation
