Uburyo bwo kuzura ifuro muri rusange busobanurwa nk'igikorwa cy'umubiri-cyangwa shimi, aho agace k'imyunyu ngugu gakururwa, kagafata ku buso bw'umutuku, hanyuma kakajyanwa ku buso bw'akazu, aho kagera mu gikoresho cyo kumesa imyanda, akenshi hifashishijwe imiyoboro, kakazenguruka mu cyerekezo cy'akazu ko kumesa imyanda (ubusanzwe ni umuyoboro, ufite intego yo gutwara ifuro mu kigega aho ishyirwa mu buryo bwo kuyitunganya, nko kuyikuramo amazi cyangwa kuyikuramo. Ifuro ryo kuzura ifuro, ku mashini zisanzwe zo kuzura, riri ku rundi ruhande rw'akazu uvuye ku byo kurya, bigatuma ifuro rinyura mu burebure bwose bw'akazu rirenga ku nkengero nyinshi zirimo imashini zikwirakwiza impeller, mbere yo kuyisohora nk'imfuro.

Ubwoko bwinshi bw'imiti bugira uruhare mu kuzura kw'ifu, kandi hari n'ubundi bwinshi bushobora gukoreshwa. Ubwa mbere ni promoter cyangwa frother. Iyi shimi ikora gusa udupfumu dufite imbaraga zihagije zo kugera hejuru tudacitse. Ingano y'udupfumu nayo ni ingenzi, kandi ikigenderewe ni udupfumu duto, kuko dutanga ubuso bwinshi (gukora ku bintu bikomeye by'ubutare vuba), kandi tukagira ubusugire bunini. Icya kabiri, reagents zo gukusanya ni zo shimi y'ibanze izahuza umuringa runaka ku buso bw'ifumu. Udupfumu dukusanya twinjira ku buso bw'ubutare cyangwa tugakora reaction ya shimi hamwe n'ubutare, bigatuma buguma bufatanye n'ubwo bujya mu mashini. Alcohol na aside nke ni ubwoko bubiri bw'imiti bukusanya bukunze gukoreshwa mu kongera ubutare.

Hariho kandi ibintu bidakoreshwa cyane, nk'ibintu bigabanya ubushyuhe, mu kugabanya ibinyabutabire bityo ntibifatanye n'udusimba, imiti ihindura pH, n'ibintu bitera imbaraga. Ibintu bitera imbaraga bifasha cyane cyane kongerera imbaraga bifatana n'ubutare bwihariye bugoye kuremba.

Ibigo nka Cytec, Nalco, na Chevron Phillips Chemical Company ni byo bitanga ubwoko bwose bw'imiti ikoreshwa mu kuzura kw'amazi.

Byaba byiza, reagents zongerwa mu ruganda rwo kongerera imbaraga, hamwe n'icyuma gitera imbaraga, mbere yo kujya mu kazu k'amazi, ariko mu bihe byinshi, zongerwa gusa mu byo kurya, mbere yuko zinjira mu kazu, bitewe n'uburyo selile zikora n'imashini zivangavanga.

Ubutare bugomba gusya neza bugashyirwa ku ngano y'utubumbe kugira ngo bukuremo ubutare, ubusanzwe bufite mesh 100 cyangwa inyunganira (microns 150). Hanyuma buvangwa n'amazi kugeza ku kigero cy'ibintu bikomeye (ubusanzwe kuva kuri 5% kugeza kuri 20%), bizatanga umusaruro mwiza wo kugarura ubutare. Ibi bigaragazwa mu turemangingo twa laboratwari, bigakorwa ibizamini byinshi kugira ngo hamenyekane buri kintu kigena uko igikorwa kigenda.

Ubwoko bw'imashini zikoresha amazi mu mazi nabwo buratandukanye cyane, ariko zose zirasa cyane, kuko zinjiza umwuka munsi y'amazi, zikawukwirakwiza mu kazu. Zimwe zikoresha ibyuma bifutura, compressor z'umwuka, cyangwa igikorwa cy'imashini ikoresha amazi mu mazi ikora icyuho munsi yayo igakurura umwuka muri iyo mashini, binyuze mu muyoboro uhagararamo kandi urimo umuyoboro w'imashini. Ni mu buryo burambuye bwo kwinjiza imiti, umwuka n'imyunyu ngugu mu mazi bituma bitandukana.

Kandi nk'igitekerezo, nabonye byinshi mu bijyanye n'imashini zikora ifuro zikoresha imashini zikora ifuro kurusha ikindi kintu cyose kuva mu gihe cy'amavuta y'inzoka mu Burengerazuba bwa Kera. Muri rusange ni byiza gukomeza gukoresha ikirango cyiza gikoreshwa cyane mu gukora ifuro ry'amabuye y'agaciro wifuza.

Iterambere rikomeye ryabaye ikoreshwa rya Column Flotation nk'ingirabuzimafatizo isukuye mu nganda z'umuringa (n'izindi nganda nke). Ikora umusaruro usukuye, kandi ikora neza nk'ingirabuzimafatizo isukuye, muri rusange, kurusha ingirabuzimafatizo zisanzwe zisukuye. Ingirabuzimafatizo zisukuye zatangiye kugaragara mu bimera mu mpera z'imyaka ya 1970 no mu myaka ya 1980 kandi zemerwaga cyane mu myaka ya 1990. Icyerekezo nyamukuru cy'ingirabuzimafatizo zisanzwe zisukuye ni Bigger is Better, hamwe n'ibice binini byagiye byinjira ku isoko mu myaka myinshi ishize.
