Flotation Machine
The various banks of flotation cells in an industrial plant are given special names to denote the particular purpose of the banks. The rougher bank is the first group of cells that the pulp sees after size reduction. The goal of the roughers is to produce a concentrate with as high a recovery of valuable as possible with generally low grade of ...

Flotation Plant Simulation
Of these, perhaps the most interesting is the fact that, from the point of view of simulator structure, all the flotation cells in the plant are identical. This configurational simplicity is further enhanced by the fact the model equations for the performance of individual cells do not change from cell to cell. The model equations are naturally ...
1 Froth Flotation – Fundamental Principles
no flotation can occur. Contact between particles and bubbles can be accomplished in a flotation cell such as the one shown schematically in Figure 5. Figure 5: Simplified schematic of a conventional flotation cell. The rotor draws slurry through the stator and expels it to the sides, creating a suction that draws air down the shaft of the stator.
Coarse particle flotation: A review
In the conventional flotation cell, the detachment of particles from the bubbles due to turbulence is the main reason for the decline in the coarse particle …
A novel scale-up approach for mechanical flotation cells
The scale-up relationship was developed based on dimensionless parameters. First, a scale-up factor (ξ) was defined as the ratio between the actual flotation rate (k AC) of the collection zone in a perfectly mixed industrial cell (N = 1) and the flotation rate (k B) in a laboratory batch cell, (1) ξ = k AC k B The apparent flotation rate constant for the …

A practical approach to plant-scale flotation optimization
The only way to reliably know the amount of air entering a flotation cell is to physically measure it with some kind of probe. The APBS can be used to measure J g and bubble size in an industrial flotation cell. It is impractical to physically measure J g each time an air rate is changed on a plant. However, it is possible to generate linear ...
Improving flotation energy efficiency by optimizing cell hydrodynamics
In conventional flotation cells a certain amount of energy is required to meet the basic requirements for flotation (air dispersion, solids suspension and particle-bubble collision). This paper investigates how that energy is dissipated in the flotation cell to determine the most efficient use of the imparted energy. ... Flotation plants using ...
