Froth flotation process is used in the purification of sulphide ores. The ore is crushed into powdered, mixed with water and a little foaming agent and is vigorously stirred. The sulphide mineral forms a froth with the oil and stays on the surface while oxides and impurities settle to the bottom water layer.

Other oils can be used for froth flotation they can but the condition is that if and only if the other oils can reduce the density of water as pine ore does. Now find those oil.

Why pine oil surround the concentrate only and water surround the gangue concentrate contains certain other elements as well so what compels the pine oil only to surround the mineral particles (concentrate) only?

Pine oil enhances non-wettability of the mineral particles.

Froth flotation is based on wetting charactersitics of the ore and gangue particles with oil and water particles respectively.
