Kinetic studies in flotation columns: Bubble size effect
Abstract. The collection first order rate constant of a flotation column was investigated as a function of bubble size within ranges commonly seen in industrial column flotation practice. The experimental work was done in a 2.5 cm diameter glass column. High purity minerals (silica, pyrite and galena) were used for the test work.

Flotinor 5530 dosages of 100 and 230 g/t were tested in the presence of gelatinized corn starch (1100 g/t average) at pH values of 8.5, 9.5 and 10.5. The increased pH flotation to 10.5, in the presence or absence of gelatinized corn starch, led to an increase of the metallurgical recovery (from 94 to 96%).

Column Flotation
Basic Idea Flotation column cells are flotation act as three phase settlers where particles move downwards in a hindered settling environment counter-current to a flux of rising air bubbles that are generated by spargers located near the bottom of the cell.

Flotation columns first appeared on the market in the late 1960's as an innovation in the field of froth flotation. Columns offered a solution, or at least an improvement, with respect to some of the problems encountered with conventional flotation cells. The most evident was the higher length-to-diameter ratio, which can be visualized as a ...

Flotation columns getting the most from fine ores
Flotation process within a column. Typically, columns are suitable for ores with a particle size bellow 150 µm. Larger particles tend to be too heavy to be kept in suspension. This size limit may vary depending on the ore density. Lighter ores, such as phosphate, are amenable to column flotation at larger particle sizes.

What Are Column Flotation Cells?
The other type of flotation cells is a column cell. Column cells are tall round tanks that use compressed air to create air bubbles via spargers or cavitation tubes. These cells are used to perform mineral separations. Column cells do not use mechanical agitation (impellers). Mixing is achieved by the turbulence provided by the rising bubbles.
