In diasporic bauxite flotation, the minerals involved all contain broken Al–O bonds, although aluminosilicates also contain broken Si–O bonds. The challenge for flotation separation in this type of flotation systems is that the separation has to be based on subtle differences on the fractured surfaces among various minerals.
