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 ...

Fig. 2 shows that as pH increased from 9.0 to 10.5 and then to 11.5, the pyrite recovery obtained from the flotation of the ore with 5 % pyrite decreased steadily from 94.5 to 40.6 % and then to 10.3 %. Hence, a direct link between the decreased pyrite recovery in Fig. 2 and the increased Cu grade in Fig. 1 when pH increased could be drawn. The …

Over the past few decades, the need to process more minerals while lowering capital costs has led to an increase in the size of flotation cells, e.g., 0.03 m3 to 1000 m3. However, this increase has created new challenges in the operation and design of industrial flotation cells, particularly in terms of froth removal, because the distance the …

Due to the limitation of freshwater sources and increasingly stringent disposal standards [13, 74, 79], the minerals industry has attempted to increase water use efficiency, reduce freshwater utilization, and minimize water discharge, or seek alternatives to fresh water [57, 59, 78, 84, 101].It is widely accepted that flotation is the most popular …

2.1 Froth flotation process. Froth flotation is extensively used to enrich sulfide minerals (galena, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, molybdenite, and pentlandite) as well as non-sulfides such as phosphate minerals, iron ores, and fine coal [1, 2].The mineral ore is ground to fine particles of typically 10 to 100µm in diameter and mixed with water to …

1. Introduction. Industrial application of sphalerite flotation has more selectivity problems than the flotation of chalcopyrite and galena due to unintentional activations (Lastra, 2007), process water (Chandra and Gerson, 2009) and other issues.Hence, the relationships between the process parameters (predominantly the …

Subsequently, bubbles collide with the mineral particles in the flotation cell, and the hydrophobic particles adhere to the bubbles, rising to form a froth layer, whereas the hydrophilic particles sink to the bottom of the cell to form a tailing [[11], [12], [13]]. The interaction process of bubbles and mineral particles is therefore considered ...

Abstract. The efficiency of the flotation process depends highly on the initial contact between the air bubble and the mineral particle. To enhance this contact, flotation cells are designed to achieve good mixing between the suspending solids and the dispersing air.

The Jameson Cell The Jameson Cell is a high intensity flotation cell in which pulp and air are brought together in a co-current descending flow in a vertical tube called the downcomer. The pulp is introduced into the downcomer through a slurry lens orifice to produce a high velocity jet that generates violent mixing and fine bubble size.
