refloated. The flotation separation curve is a plot of recovery versus the flotation rate of a particle in a particular flotation process. If a flotation process was a perfect separator, the separation curve would be a vertical line – complete recovery of particles to the right of the line and no recovery of particles to the left.

The optimum size range for traditional mechanical flotation cells is typically between 20 and 150 µm for metal sulfides. The flotation recovery decreases outside this range due to high turbulence within the cell for coarser particles and low bubble-particle collision probability for the finer end of the particle size spectrum.
