Ion Flotation: A Laboratory Experiment Linking Fundamental and Applied Chemistry
Betty Thalody and Gregory G. Warr

July 1999
Vol. 76 No. 7
p. 956
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.
