Flotation is a physico-chemical process that is based on differences in hydrophobicity and is used to separate minerals in a slurry of finely ground ore [ 8 ]. Typically, the desired (valuable) minerals are rendered hydrophobic and the gangue (waste) minerals are made hydrophilic.

Froth flotation is commonly applied to REE-bearing ores due to its ability to process a wide range of fine particle sizes and it can be tailored to the mineralogy of a specific deposit. As such, when compared to other beneficiation techniques, flotation …
