The Concorde Cell is a high-intensity pneumatic flotation cell dedicated to fines and ultrafines. Its development by Professor Graeme Jameson and later on by was driven by two considerations: a reduction in bubble size and an increase in the shear rate and energy dissipation rate increases the particle–bubble collision and attachment …

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 ...

Fig. 3 shows the cross-section of the flotation cells under study. The pulp level changes as a function of the cell volume. The change is linear from the bottom of the cell to the starting level of the launders and boosters, denoted by H lowerpart in Fig. 3.The cross-section of the pulp subsequently decreases on moving upwards because the …

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 …

The full-scale REFLUX™ Flotation Cell, which is shown in Fig. 3, had an internal diameter of about 2 m. The upper vertical section had a height of about 1.6 m and the inclined channels were nominally 1.0 m long, with a 20 mm spacing and an inclination of 70° to the horizontal. As discussed, the feed slurry entered through an air sparger ...

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.

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.
