New directions in flotation machine design
1. Introduction. In current flotation practice, the feed is customarily ground to a specified top size. The size is chosen so as to liberate the ore to the extent necessary to achieve an appropriate recovery and final grade. The d90 is typically in the range 75–150 μm, depending on the nature of the ore.

Model Selection and Design of Flotation Machines
The selection of flotation machine type is related to the factors such as raw ore properties (ore density, size, silt content, grade, floatability, etc.), equipment performance, scale of concentrator, process structure and system division. In the model selection, pay attention to the following four problems:

The Flote-Tech Flotation Machine: Messiah or Mixed Blessing?
I attempt to present a more balanced view of the Flote-Tech machine, based on four years of direct experience. Rather than being a perfected machine for flotation recovery of archaeological plant remains, the Flote-Tech is a prototype with important design and use problems. It can only be recommended with major caveats and system modifications.

The preferred pH regulator is soda ash, which acts as a dispersant and also as a complexing reagent for some heavy metal cations that have a negative effect on gold flotation. Use of lime often results in the depression of native gold and gold-bearing sulphides. The optimum flotation pH ranges between 8.5 and 10.0.
