FIELD: mining industry. SUBSTANCE: flotation installation comprises vessel for placing suspension containing minerals to be recovered. Aeration performed by means of appropriate appliances gives rise to formation of zone with mineral-enriched foam above suspension. Conduit directs mineral-enriched foam beyond vessel. At least one porous dissipating barrier being in immediate contact with foam directs fluid being washed immediately into foam zone. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of process. 22 cl, 3 dwg
