Title: Flotation cells in operation, Wheal Jane Tin Mine, Cornwall [Go to resource]
Description: Sulphide minerals need to be removed from the mined tin ore. By adding chemicals and then whipping the mixture a froth is formed. The bubbles in the froth attract the sulphide and this may then be taken off. This system was pioneered in Cornwall in the early 20th century. Subjects: Tin Works
