  2. Froth flotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Froth_flotation

    For froth flotation, an aqueous slurry of the ground ore is treated with the frothing agent. An example is sodium ethyl xanthate as a collector in the flotation of galena (lead sulfide) to separate it from sphalerite (zinc sulfide). The polar part of xanthate anion attaches to the ore particles and the non-polar hydrocarbon part forms a ...

  3. Froth treatment (Athabasca oil sands) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Froth_treatment_(Athabasca...

    Bitumen froth treatment is a process used in the Athabasca oil sands (AOS) bitumen recovery operations to remove fine inorganics—water and mineral particles—from bitumen froth, by diluting the bitumen with a light hydrocarbon solvent—either naphthenic or paraffinic—to reduce the viscosity of the froth and to remove contaminants that were not removed in previous water-based gravity ...

  4. Foam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam

    In open-cell foam, gas pockets connect to each other. A bath sponge is an example of an open-cell foam: [not verified in body] water easily flows through the entire structure, displacing the air. A sleeping mat is an example of a product composed of closed-cell foam. [not verified in body] Foams are examples of dispersed media.

  7. Soft matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_matter

    Historically the problems considered in the early days of soft matter science were those pertaining to the biological sciences. As such, an important application of soft matter research is biophysics, with a major goal of the discipline being the reduction of the field of cell biology to the concepts of soft matter physics.

    An example of properly steamed milk, considered ideal to pour latte art The basic requirements for formation of foam are an abundance of gas, water, a surfactant, and energy. [ citation needed ] The steam wand of an espresso machine supplies energy, in the form of heat, and gas, in the form of steam.

  9. Basic research - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_research

    This study found that basic research played a key role in the development in all of the innovations. The number of basic science research [clarification needed] that assisted in the production of a given innovation peaked between 20 and 30 years before the innovation itself. While most innovation takes the form of applied science and most ...
