The virgin acrylonitrile butadiene styrene(ABS), polycarbonate (PC) and polyoxy methylene(POM) available in a plastic mix were separated from each other by a flotation technique with the aid of several depressants. Also, a Design-Expert (R) statistical software was used to predict plastics flotation using input data including conditioning time, flotation tank temperature and pH and depressants concentration. It revealed that the flotation technique was effective for separation of studied plastics by selected depressants. Understanding the adsorption-desorption phenomena and effective parameters on this process was crucial to explain the activity and selectivity of a depressant on a plastic surface. The increasing conditioning time up to 15min had adverse effect on the floatability of the all studied plastics conditioned with tannic acid (TA). TA and methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) had not any effect on floatability of PC and POM in all studied depressant concentrations. The flotation of ABS reached to 85% for flotation tank pH of 6.5 with 15min depressant conditioning at 35 degrees C as flotation tank temperature. A complicate phenomenon involved and predominated in flotation of studied plastics. Proposed equations by Design-Expert (R) predicted close plastic flotation values when compared with corresponding experimental values.
