ABSTRACT
The role of flotation frothing agents in the flotation process is generally known, especially due to the size of bubbles and the stability of the foam formed. In recent years, a number of new reagents have been introduced. The purpose of this article is to present a comprehensive database containing the characteristics of surfactant families discussed using the parameter of the so called the Critical Coa-lescence Concentration (CCC). This article presents an analysis of the experimental data set by the author and the experimental data published in the literature.
