摘要：Effects of oxide nanomaterials used in flotation process. Important
challenges in the global water situation, mainly resulting from worldwide
population growth and climate change, require novel innovative water
technologies in order to ensure a supply of drinking water and reduce global water
pollution. For this purpose, highly advanced nanotechnology offers new
opportunities in technological developments for advanced water and wastewater
technology processes. This paper presents an important method used in the
wastewater treatment and in the mineral separation, named the flotation. Also, this
paper presents the factors that influence the froth flotation process, such as:
nanoparticle hydrophobicity, nanoparticle diameter, particle softness etc.
