| Abstract: | The Van Oss surface thermodynamic theory of polar and apolar interfacial interactions was extended to the interaction between mineral surfaces and bubbles across liquid media. The acid base (polar) interfacial interactions are supposed to be responsible for the hydration repulsion between a hydrophilic mineral and a bubble as well as for the hydrophobic attraction between a hydrophobic mineral and the bubble. |
