Optimizing Flotation Cells
Flotation Cells (Froth Flotation) were developed to separate and recover high value Sulphide ores from low grade ore bodies. The ore is crushed and milled at the concentrator in a process known as comminution, where the mineral is in suspension in slurry. The particle size for mineral being recovered is generally less than <0.1mm.

The flotation of gold bearing ores — A review
The flotation of gold bearing ores--a review 84.5 Residence Time Because flotation is often a rate controlled process it is important to optimize the cell residence time. It has been reported that the rate of gold and pyrite flotation is greater from plants treating coarse milled ores than from those treating finer ores or tailings.

Coarse particle separation by fluidized-bed flotation
HydroFloat (HF), NovaCell (NC), and Reflux Flotation Cell (RFC) are the three main outcomes of investing in FBFCs for coarse particle separation beneficiation. The HF device, created by Eriez's Flotation Division in the early 2000s [ 48 ], is a well-known example of the FBF device. The HF separator ( Fig. 1) is a flotation device and a …

Mechanical flotation cells utilise an impellor to agitate the slurry and produce turbulent regions for bubble particle attachment, whereas in pneumatic flotation cells pulp and air are introduced together into the cell through a nozzle, also termed a downcomer, that promotes bubble-particle contact (Gupta and Yan, 2016).

1 Froth Flotation – Fundamental Principles
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.
