Resonanssiaallotus, often translated as resonance flotation or resonant flotation, is a technique used in certain industrial processes, particularly in the mining and materials processing sectors. It leverages the principles of resonance to enhance the separation of materials based on their physical properties. The core idea involves applying acoustic or mechanical vibrations at a specific frequency, known as the resonant frequency, to a mixture of particles suspended in a fluid, typically water.

When the applied frequency matches the natural resonant frequency of certain particles within the mixture, these particles begin to vibrate with a significantly amplified amplitude. This enhanced vibration can alter the effective density or settling behavior of the targeted particles. Consequently, particles that resonate can be more easily separated from those that do not, or their separation characteristics are dramatically modified.

The specific application of resonanssiaallotus varies. In some contexts, it's used to improve the efficiency of flotation processes by making specific mineral particles more amenable to attachment to air bubbles. In other cases, it might be employed to dewater slurries or to separate particles of different sizes or densities that are otherwise difficult to distinguish. The effectiveness of resonanssiaallotus depends on factors such as the size, shape, and material composition of the particles, as well as the properties of the fluid medium and the precise control of the applied resonant frequency.
