The flotation process was then carried out for 4 min, during which froth samples were collected at 10 s, 30 s, 60 s, 120 s, and 240 s. To assess the impact of agitation speed on flotation, the flotation machine's rotational speed was altered within the range of 900–2400 revolutions per minute (rpm).

A critical review on the flotation of calcium-containing …
Froth flotation is the most effective method to separate and enrich refractory calcium-containing minerals. Because the calcium ions in the mineral lattice are the same, they have similar surface chemical properties and dissolution characteristics (solution chemical properties) in the slurry environment [29], [30], [31], resulting in a lack of selectivity in the adsorption of flotation ...
