DEF

Rectangular trough divided into interconnected square compartments, into each of which low-pressure air is stirred through a system of revolving teeth and stationary baffles to produce copious air bubbles which search the mineralised pulp flowing from feed to discharge end of the trough. These bubbles lift aerophilic particles to an overflow (froth) launder while hydrophilic ones remain in the pulp and are separately discharged.
