The Effect of Collectors and Their Interactions with Depressants on the Behaviour of the Froth Phase in FlotationBy P J. Harris, C T. OÆConnor
Collectors are used to impart hydrophobicity on particles thus increasing their chances of reporting to the froth phase. Also, the extent to which naturally hydrophobic gangue particles, such as talca
