vendingmachine commented on the word froth flotation
Industrially, pine oil is used as a frother in mineral extraction from ores. For example, in copper extraction, pine oil is used to condition copper sulfide ores for froth flotation. Therefore, it is important in the industry for the froth flotation process. It has largely been replaced by synthetic alcohols and polyglycol ethers.
