Oil-flotation. Oil methods effect the selection of the minerals of metallic luster from the gangue minerals in an ore by reason of the fact that the minerals of metallic luster are wetted preferentially by oil in the presence of water and, hence, pass from the aqueous pulp containing them into the oil, or, more accurately, into the interface ...
