Abstract
An experimental apparatus and protocol for the selective flotation of dissolved ions suitable for use in undergraduate laboratories is described. The system may be used to illustrate the application of ion-exchange equilibria, kinetics, and surface chemistry to real-life problems in areas as diverse as environmental chemistry and mineral processing. Rather than describing a particular experiment in detail, we have described the equipment used and outlined the various ways in which it might be applied at a range of undergraduate levels to make the connection between fundamental chemical understanding and a variety of applied problems.

Richard A. VendittiJournal of Chemical Education2004 81 (5), 693Flotation de-inking technology is used in the paper recycling process to preferentially remove hydrophobic contaminants, such as inks and toners from a slurry of fibers in water. In the process fine air bubbles are introduced into the suspension and the ...

Nasimul Gani , Jasmina KhanamJournal of Chemical Education2002 79 (3), 332In aqueous medium, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide reacts with potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) and forms a precipitate by an ion-exchange reaction. But a bubble blown from an aqueous solution of polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate (Tween 80) and ...
