QUIZ
Flotation
Directions: Write the correct answer on the space provided.

TRUE FLOTATION MICROFLOTATION

PRECIPITATE FLOTATION (1ST KIND) FALSE FLOAT
PRECIPITATE FLOTATION (2ND KIND) RECYCLE MOLECULAR FLOTATION
ADSORBING COLLOID FLOTATION ION FLOTATION

________________1. A type of flotation in which a precipitate is removed by a collector which is

not the precipitating agent.
________________2. A type of flotation in which a precipitate is removed but does not require a
collector.
________________3. Flotation can remove high density particles which would require long
settling periods.
________________4. It involves separation of solids from the water phase by attaching the
solids to fine air bubbles to decrease the density of the particles so that they float instead of
sinking.
________________5. It is the removal of dissolved material in piggyback fashion by adsorption
on colloidal particles.
________________6. A category of flotation in which involves the removal of microscopic
particles. It is also called as colloid flotation.
________________7. A type of flotation which involves the removal of surface-inactive
molecules through the use of a collector (surfactant) which yields an insoluble product.
________________8. It is often employed because the flocculent suspended solids are too
fragile to be directly aerated and because larger quantities of air can be introduced since recycle
flow can be greater than feed flow.
________________9. The rising solids are called the _____.
________________10. A type of flotation which involves the removal of surface-inactive ions via
a collector which yields an insoluble product, especially a removable scum.
