In this work, the novel application of reactive oily bubbles to enhance collophane flotation is reported. Three different types of bubbles, conventional air bubble, oily bubbles (kerosene only) and reactive oily bubbles (kerosene containing fatty acids) approaching collophane particles were studied by measurements of zeta potential, induction time and contact angle. The reactive oily bubble shows negligible effects on the zeta potential of collophane particles. A shorter induction time of reactive oily bubble was found at pH6.0 and/or at pH9.0 relative to the conventional air bubbles and the oily bubbles. This suggests a strong collection power of reactive oily bubble. Advancing contact angles of the reactive oily bubble on collophane increased dramatically with pH. At pH9.0, a contact angle of 120 degrees was observed where the reactive oily bubble flotation is anticipated. Micro-flotation results demonstrate the superiority of reactive oily bubbles over air bubbles for collophane flotation. A concentrate containing 35.67% of P<ce:inf loc="post">2</ce:inf>O<ce:inf loc="post">5</ce:inf>and 0.39% of MgO was obtained using reactive oily bubble flotation at pH9.0. Micro-flotation results also show that Ca<ce:sup loc="post">2+</ce:sup>and Mg<ce:sup loc="post">2+</ce:sup>ions have a negative effect on the collophane flotation, but the effect of reactive oily bubble system is smaller than that of air bubble system.</ce:simple-para></ce:abstract-sec></ce:abstract><ce:abstract xmlns:ce="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/common/dtd" xmlns="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/ja/dtd" id="ab0010" class="author-highlights" xml:lang="en" view="all"><ce:section-title id="st0010">Highlights</ce:section-title><ce:abstract-sec id="as0010" view="all"><ce:simple-para id="sp0070" view="all"><ce:list id="l0005"><ce:list-item id="li0005"><ce:label>?</ce:label><ce:para id="p0005" view="all">Reactive oily bubble is applied to enhance a phosphate ore flotation.</ce:para></ce:list-item><ce:list-item id="li0010"><ce:label>?</ce:label><ce:para id="p0010" view="all">Induction time and contact angle measurements suggest a better flotation performance for reactive oily bubble.</ce:para></ce:list-item><ce:list-item id="li0015"><ce:label>?</ce:label><ce:para id="p0015" view="all">Micro-flotation tests demonstrate the superiority of reactive oily bubbles over air bubbles.</ce:para></ce:list-item><ce:list-item id="li0020"><ce:label>?</ce:label><ce:para id="p0020" view="all">Micro-flotation tests confirm a slighter negative effect of Ca<ce:sup loc="post">2+</ce:sup>and Mg<ce:sup loc="post">2+</ce:sup>on reactive oily bubble than air bubble.</ce:para></ce:list-item></ce:list></ce:simple-para></ce:abstract-sec></ce:abstract>]]>
