Frothers
A. Gupta, D.S. Yan, in Mineral Processing Design and Operation, 2006. 16.1.2 Frothers. Frothers are surfactants, usually organic heteropolar compounds such as alcohols or polyglycol ethers. Due to the heteropolar nature, the frother adsorbs at the air/water interface and as a result, lowers the water surface tension.
