Characteristic of a vehicle, by reason of large softly inflated tyres, not to sink on soft going such as mud or sand.
Polystyrene, closed cell foam or air bags placed in a canoe or kayak to help keep the craft afloat in the event of a capsize.
Resistance to sinking into softer road surfaces, e.g., sand or mud; increases with additional axles and larger tires.
Ability to float generally referring to large low-pressure tires.
the phenomenon of floating (remaining on the surface of a liquid without sinking)
financing a commercial enterprise by bond or stock shares
When a company first sells its stock to the general public, through a stock market, it is said to have floated.
A metallurgical process by which some mineral particles are induced to become chemically bound to air bubble surfaces and float, and other particles to sink, so that the valuable minerals may be further concentrated and separated from gangue minerals
Material on which the dock floats. Standard materials include various encasements of styrofoam or polyurethane. Many areas do not allow permit 'virgin' styrofoam use. Other float material includes 'anything which floats and maintains freeboard'.
A recovery process by which valuable minerals are separated from waste to produce a concentrate. Selected minerals are induced to become attached to air bubbles and to float.
The separation of minerals from each other and from waste matter by inducing (through the use of reagents) relative differences in their abilities to float in a liquid medium.
A kayak's ability to float, created by its volume.
A metallurgical process during which minerals are separated out of crushed ore.
The process of mixing ground ore with water chemical reagents and air to separate mineral particles from waste rock. The mineral particles stick to the air bubbles and float to the surface. The froth is collected and dewatered to produce concentrate for smelting or further processing.
Foam or air bladders placed in the hull of a kayak forward and aft to increase buoyancy and keep the boat from sinking in the event of a capsize.
Is experienced in a flotation tank, which is a specially designed chamber containing sufficient salt-saturated water to enable one to float. In this state of suspension, floating effortlessly, allows the mind and body to release tension.
a milling process by which some mineral particles are induced to become attached to bubbles of froth and float, and others to sink, so that the valuable minerals are concentrated and separated from the gangue
A method of combining finely ground ore with water and chemical reagents to create a frothy mixture that separates metallic particles from other minerals; the metallic particles are then collected and dried and the resulting concentrate is sent to the smelter for fire-refining.
A milling process in which valuable mineral particles are induced to become attached to bubbles and float away from the waste particles in a solid/solution pulp.
A milling process in which valuable mineral particles are induced to become attached to bubbles and float, and others sink.
The method of mineral separation in which a froth, created in water by a variety of reagents, floats some finely crushed minerals, whereas other minerals sink.
A process for concentrating minerals based on the selective adhesion of certain minerals to air bubbles in a mixture of water and ground up ore. When the right chemicals are added to a frothy water bath of ore that has been ground to the consistency of talcum powder, the minerals will float to the surface. The metal rich flotation concentrate is then skimmed off the surface.
A process of mineral separation in which water, oil, and chemicals are combined to make a froth of air bubbles to which certain minerals adhere and can be collected in a trough.
The method of mineral separation in which a froth, created in water by a variety of reagents, causes some finely crushed minerals to float, whereas the useless materials sink to the bottom.
a process by which some mineral particles are induced, by the introduction of specific reagents, to become attached to bubbles and float while other particles sink; the valuable minerals are concentrated and separated from the gaunge
Separating ore from waste materials by floating away the materials of lower specific gravity, while the heavier materials sink.
A mineral processing method used to concentrate the economic minerals from the ore prior to further processing
