The movement of hydrophobic particles in a rising froth column is investigated. Gadolinium particles are hydrophobized and floated by means of small air bubbles. The generated froth is investigated by neutron imaging. Particles are identified by correlating the resulting radiographs with an artificial template of a typical particle and subsequent scanning for local maxima. The movement of the particles in the froth was analyzed for different froth stabilities, which resulted from various concentrations of the frother sodium oleate. Decreasing froth stability leads to lower superficial vertical particle velocity and to higher horizontal diffusion of particles due to bubble rupture.
