Flotation reagent. ... Collecting reagents increase the angle of contact of the three-phase system and, therefore, the interfacial tension between the particle and the liquid. Among useful reagents of this type are fatty acids and soaps. The usefulness of collectors is enhanced by activating reagents ... Depressing reagents accomplish the opposite task. 1, record 1, English, - collecting%20reagent

La flottation est ainsi utilisée pour la séparation sélective de certains solides contenus dans une pulpe et pour leur concentration. Pour opérer cette sélection, on utilise des réactifs collecteurs, particulièrement hydrophobes, qui ont pour but d'augmenter la répulsion vis-à-vis de l'eau du minerai que l'on désire sélectionner. Les réactifs dépresseurs de gangue auront pour but au contraire d'augmenter la mouillabilité de la masse de matières que l'on ne désire pas retenir. 1, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9actif%20collecteur

Les liaisons ioniques ou polaires, de nature électrostatique, existent entre ions de charges contraires et obéissent à la loi de Coulomb. Dans ces liaisons, il se produit un transfert d'électron de l'élément électropositif vers l'élément électronégatif, chaque atome acquérant la configuration électronique d'un gaz rare. À l'exception des éléments et sulfures, les liaisons ioniques sont fréquentes dans le règne minéral. 6, record 5, French, - liaison%20ionique

[...] il est [quelquefois] difficile d'associer un nombre donné d'électrons à une liaison chimique. Ces liaisons sont parfois dites : liaisons sans électrons de liaison. C'est le cas de la liaison ionique qui réunit deux ions de signes contraires comme, par exemple, l'ion chlore et l'ion césium dans le cristal de chlorure de césium. 7, record 5, French, - liaison%20ionique
