Flotation is about creating the proper energy dissipation rate in the cells to obtain optimal contact between the air bubbles and the particles for extracting the minerals. The function of the rotor/stator is to make bubbles from the induced air, suspend the particles, and create an environment for bubbles and particles to make contact and rise ...

Over the past few decades, the need to process more minerals while lowering capital costs has led to an increase in the size of flotation cells, e.g., 0.03 m3 …
Flotation cells are mechanical equipment that bring the ore in contact with air, water, and chemical agents. Their main function is to separate the previously conditioned slurry into a concentrate and tailings. The level of these cells is controlled by dart valves, which in turn are operated by actuators.The calculation of the level control …

Froth flotation faces increasing challenges in separating particles as those become finer and more complex, thus reducing the efficiency of the separation process. A lab flotation apparatus has been designed combining the advantages of agitator-type froth flotation for high turbulences and column flotation with a deep froth zone for a …
3.4. Effect of cell hydrodynamics on flotation performance. Overall recovery (R O) in a flotation cell is a function of recovery in the collection (R C) and froth (R f) phase, Eq. (4), ( Dobby, 1984 ): (4) R o = R f R c R f R c + 1 - R C. The drivers of recovery are very different in these two phases.

Flotation involves the introduction of gas or air into the water to create a or froth which will scrub the solids from the liquid and carry them out with the . The primary difference in flotation cells is the two ways of introducing the gas. Gas introduced into the bottom of a cell and dispersed into a water in the form of very fine ...
A dual flotation–conductivity laboratory flotation cell was implemented to study the effect of gas dispersion variables, including frother concentration, on the flotation performance. For a given flotation time, the cumulative copper recovery exhibited a fairly linear function of gas rate, and this relationship was modified by frother ...
The performance of flotation cell when they are arranged in series for continuous operation can be modelled using N perfect mixer in series by RTD as [219] (26) E (t) = t N − 1 e − t N / τ τ N N N − 1! where E(t) is the RTD function, N is the number of mechanical cells, τ is the mean residence time and t is the time.
In practical operation the function of promoters may be considered two-fold: namely, to collect and select. Certain of the xanthates, for instance, possess both collective and selective powers to a high degree, and it is reagents such as these that have made possible some of the more difficult separations. In bulk flotation all of the sulphide …
No matter what type of flotation operation or cell design is used, it is a challenge that the conflicting functional requirements exist for different zones within a flotation cell, therefore a delicate balance of hydrodynamic conditions is essential for the optimum recovery of value minerals (Gorain et al., 2000). To date, the study of ...
The FDB cell was then raised, and the dropback, concentrate sample weights were determined. The froth recovery ( Rf) was measured as, (2) R f = C ( C + D) × 100 where C is the concentrate solid flowrate of attached and entrained particles and D is the dropback solid flowrate of attached and entrained particles.

Jameson Cell has accurate scale-up reliability and is the real-word specification in any and all duties within a flotation circuit: rougher and scavenger duty; cleaner and cleaner scavenger duty. In fact, a single Jameson Cell has successfully replaced a traditional circuit of cells; and unlike other competing cells, it has no moving parts.
The Jameson Cell was a joint development between Mount Isa Mines and Prof. G.J. Jameson of the University of Newcastle, Australia ( Jameson, 1988 ). Since its invention in 1986 there have been 225 Jameson Cells installed in a variety of applications. Although the Jameson Cell is widely installed in the flotation industry there still remains …
