**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Froth Flotation Process:** - The froth flotation process is a method used for separating hydrophobic materials from hydrophilic ones. It is commonly used in the mining industry to extract valuable minerals from ores. 2. **Role of Collector:** - Collectors are chemical agents that enhance the non-wettability of mineral particles. This means they make the surface of the mineral particles less likely to interact with water. - By increasing the non-wettability, collectors allow the mineral particles to attach to air bubbles that are introduced into the flotation cell. ...
