bench mechanical flotation cell testing, prior to reagent addition. As Feeds A and B were flotation tailings, the presence of residual flotation reagents was probable. Bench flotation test s conducted without collect or addition confirmed the coal particles floated readily, and hence were, naturally or otherwise, hydrophobic.

The use of a gently uprising, aerated fluid greatly reduces the turbulence commonly found in other flotation cells, allowing the effective flotation of coarser particles (Kohmuench et al., 2018). Fluidised bed flotation is advantageous as it can reduce the need for finer grinding, reduce grinding costs, and it accepts feed with very high solid ...

1. Introduction. Flotation is commonly used in the mineral processing industry to concentrate valuable minerals. The three-phase mixing region of the flotation cell is very important in flotation dynamics, a high agitation speed is required to make the pulp turbulent, and the froth layer for the recovery of valuable minerals requires a relatively …

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.

This size fraction corresponds to a P 80 of about 140 µm which is appropriate for flotation tests. The nickel head grade of samples L, I and S (at the −300 µm size fraction) was found to be 1.2%, 1.1%, and 3.0%, respectively. Nickel was found, more or less, at the same grade in all size fractions in these laterite ore samples.
