Flotation which has significant usage area in mineral processing is starting to gain a new role in a wide
range of studies with technological improvements. Different mechanisms that are effective in flotation
are influenced by many factors. Particle size, bubble size and water chemistry are some of the
parameters which affects flotation recovery. As the days goes by, there is a need to float finer particles
due to decreasing liberation size of the minerals. Moreover, bubble size needed to be optimized in order
to float fine particles. Another crucial parameter which affects flotation is chemistry of water because of
ions which are in water. In recent years, these parameters have become the most outstanding subjects
of researches. Beside of these effective parameters in flotation processes, with technological
developments and needs, flotation of rare earth minerals is a new area to be studied. In this context,
new technological developments, their effects to flotation recovery and methods to enrich rare earth
minerals by using flotation are investigated with the light of many studies.
