The Jameson Cell technology is an established robust and efficient high intensity flotation technology which has been continuously developed and improved over two decades. Its high capacity, small footprint and low maintenance requirements have made it more or less a standard flotation technology in the Australian coal industry.
As an integral part of a flotation circuit, column flotation is highly effective in producing high-quality product, offering superior recovery of fine materials.

A study was developed at Ujina plant, CMDIC, Chile, to evaluate the effect of particle size and liberation on the flotation scale-up factors (Yianatos et al., 2022).The experimental work was developed in an industrial rougher bank of six 300 m 3 cells. Fig. 1 shows that the particle size has a great impact, increasing the scale-up factor from 1.5 for …
The other type of flotation cells is a column cell. Column cells are tall round tanks that use compressed air to create air bubbles via spargers or cavitation tubes. These cells are used to perform mineral separations. Column cells do not use mechanical agitation (impellers). Mixing is achieved by the turbulence provided by the rising bubbles.
1.. Gas dispersion sensorsGas dispersion is the collective term for superficial gas (air) velocity (or gas rate, volumetric air flow rate per unit cross-sectional area of cell, J g), gas-holdup (volumetric fraction of gas in a gas–slurry mix, ε g), and bubble size distribution (D b).The sensors and devices we have used to measure these variables in …

A flotation cell consists of two distinct zones – a mixed pulp zone in which bubbles collide with particles in a liquid phase and a froth zone consisting largely of particle laden air bubbles ...
Results show that our flotation machines operate on exceptional grade recovery curves, with respect to coarse and fine particle recovery. The remarkable performance of our machines is related to flotation-favourable hydrodynamics, which produce higher active cell volumes, provide longer residence times, and complement froth removal.
An improved laboratory froth flotation cell has been designed which eliminates many of the inadequacies of previous cells, and also allows the study of froth effects in flotation. Details of its design and functional features are discussed herein. The performance of the new cell is evaluated from results of replicate batch flotation tests ...
WEMCO II: The best in flotation just got better Throughout the decades, original WEMCO flotation cells built their reputation on delivering the highest recovery. WEMCO II provides the same benefits as its predecessor, along with changes to the rotor and stator/hood that greatly improve power consumption, air flow and pumping.

In the Jameson cell slurry and air are introduced at the top which proceeds downward in the downcomer and forms a liquid jet. Consequently, air is entrained into the plunging jet because of the vacuum effect and generates a large number of tiny bubbles as a result of high shear rate [55].In the downcomer region, the collection of particles on …
This is a flotation equipment in which high-speed ore slurry and air are mixed and mineralized in the spraying device, and the separation is realized in the cell. It can be divided into air suction type and compressed air type. (1) Typical air suction flotation cell is China FJC jet flotation cell series. It is mainly composed of cell body ...

Flotation equipment is a kind of beneficiation equipment which takes bubbles as the carrier and uses the difference in mineral surface wettability to separate minerals. In the late nineteenth century, flotation as a beneficiation method was explicitly proposed, and various types of flotation equipment were developed, including flotation …
Flotation equipment such as mechanical flotation cells and flotation columns are commonly designed to provide even dispersal of bubbles within the pulp zone of the tank. The mapping of void fraction in the volume surrounding the downcomer for air to pulp ratios of 0.3, 0.54, and 0.94 shows that this is not the case for the Jameson Cell, …
