Collectors forms ____
a) Films
b) Forth
c) Bubbles
d) Scale
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Collectors are the material which form surface films on the particles, these films are thicker that produced by promoters.

3 - Question
Surfaces in either cases are manipulated using ____
a) Changer
b) Modifiers
c) Striker
d) Maroekater
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Surface manipulation can be done using the substances called as modifiers which either absorbed on the surface of particle or react chemically.
4 - Question
Which of the following is the right order?
a) Forth > Modifier > Collector
b) Forth < Modifier < Collector
c) Forth > Collector > Modifier
d) Forth < Collector < Modifier
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: Initially forth is formed using a suitable forthing agent and then collectors can be applied to increase the film thickness and if needed modifiers are used.

a) Kinematical falling
b) Partially falling
c) Equally falling
d) Free falling
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: The basic criterion of separation of particles A and B are the difference in the terminal velocity, but when it is equal they are said to be equally falling.
