Flotation is a density separation process which is influenced by physico-chemical interaction between a particle and a bubble. In biotechnology, it finds application in the solid-liquid separation of biomass. The process mechanism depends on the formation of stable microorganism-bubble-complexes by collision and adsorption.

The quest for sustainable mining processes has directed research towards environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional beneficiation practices, with biosurfactants emerging as a viable option due to their lower environmental impact. This study reviews the application of biosurfactants as bioreagents in mineral flotation, exploring their production, …
Coal flotation can recover coal (<0.5 mm) and increase economic efficiency based on differences in surface properties between coal and inorganic minerals [1], [2].The flotation reagents play a significant role in the flotation process [3], [4].Some studies have pointed out that microorganisms or extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) could act as surface …
What is upstream processing? As already mentioned, upstream processing in biotechnology describes the step of preparing cell cultures for fermentation. It encompasses various steps, which will be described in further …
Flotation, as a density/gravity separation process, has also been proposed and extensively tested in biotechnology—i.e., finding application in the solid–liquid separation of biomass; this can also be used for metal ion removal as a suitable biosorbent, even permitting its regeneration [49,50,51].
Downstream processing and its steps. The various procedure involved in the actual recovery of useful products after fermentation or any other process together constitute Downstream Processing.; It is a very important step in the manufacture of different product in pharmaceutical industry (Such as antibiotics, hormones, antibodies, vaccine, enzymes), Food …
Different flotation units as promising cost-effective technologies for microalgae harvesting and dewatering are reviewed. ... biomass production is pinned by harvesting and dewatering stage thus hindering the developing and growing microalgae biotechnology industries. Flotation technology applied in mineral industry could be potentially applied ...
Compared with either air micro-bubble flotation and oxygen micro-bubble flotation processes, pyridine removal efficiency of the ozone micro-bubble flotation process was, respectively, 4.5 and 1.7 times higher, and benzene removal efficiency 3.6 and 1.5 times higher.
BACKGROUND: Flotation processes are widely used in waste-water treatment and it is quite important to have a tool to determine and optimize the size distribution of the bubbles produced. In this work, the electrochemical production of bubbles to enhance the performance of electrocoagulation processes by flotation is studied.
The Flotation Process. Until quite recently copper ore had to be hand-picked if the extraction of the metal was to be economical. In fact, in the last century, ores of 4 percent grade were regarded as almost valueless. Today such ores (which would be regarded as relatively rich in copper) are scarce; the great majority of mines contain the ...
If the gangue mineral in an iron ore is predominantly quartz, reverse flotation is usually used in the cleaning stage to improve the concentrate grade. Figure 9.13 presents a typical flow sheet for processing an oxidized iron ore containing about 30% Fe using a combination of SLon magnetite separators and reverse flotation. The ore is mainly composed of magnetite, hematite, martite, …
