The result is excellent particle recovery in a simple, proven induced-air design.

By means of considerations, experimental results as well as high-speed photographs it is shown that in flotation machines the zone of high local energy dissipation, i.e. the impeller stream, is the active region for the realization of the microprocesses bubble dispersion and particle-bubble attachment. Because of the …

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.

The paper is about the froth flotation process and its application. It is a metallurgical process for the extraction of metals in a pure state from their ores: especially for sulfide ores.

Flotation Column Cell have a limited froth Carrying Capacity. 50 mm Columns vs Mechanical Cells. Since the sized behaviour of the 50 mm column is being used as a baseline for the plant columns, it is necessary to explain how it compares with mechanical cells. The 50 mm column was compared with mechanical pilot plant cells at …

An extensive field test was conducted by Rio Tinto and Eriez to evaluate the operability and metallurgical performance of a StackCell® SC-50 high-intensity flotation machine for recovery of copper and molybdenum from flotation tailings.
