Review of the reagents used in the direct flotation of phosphate ores
However, froth flotation is the widely used beneficiation process. It was estimated that more than 60% of the world's commercial phosphate is concentrated by flotation process (Sis and Chander 2003a; Santana et al. 2011). Froth flotation process, well known today, began about 110 years ago in Australia (Fuerstenau et al. 2007).
