Despite the high economic impact of poor flotation cell performance, control of flotation cells is notoriously challenging for two main reasons: (1) cell control is complex with several colinear variables, and (2) closed-loop control lacks high-quality continuous measurements for key process variables such as concentrate composition (i.e ...
A model system of ultrafine (<10 µm) particles was used for flotation to study how the separation process is influenced by the ultrafine property vectors of shape and wettability. To evaluate the new apparatus, flotation tests were carried out in a benchmark mechanical flotation cell under comparable conditions.
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.
