INTERACTION of FLOTATION CELL OPERATING VARIABLES Henry Peters and Tom Remigio Abitibi-Consolidated Company of Canada Tim Evans and Marc Dagenais National Silicates ABSTRACT A laboratory experiment was designed to investigate the relationships between flotation cell operating consistency and specific air volume.
• Chemistry and cell design had been identified as the major variables affecting ink removal efficiency and yield losses • Flotation cells were being operated over a range of conditions where consistency and air input were used as a means to control performance, but the relationship between these variables was not well understood
Flotation is strongly affected by many factors related to the floated mineral such as grade, degree of liberation, surface properties, etc., and with many operating variables. The industrial flotation performance can be detrimentally affected by inevitable changes in the feed stream in terms of flow rate, grade, particle size distribution, etc ...

The number of variables which can effect flotation of molybdenite is very large. The analysis of flotation results indicate that molybdenite can be characterized into fast-floating and slow-floating components. The rates of fast-floating components, which do not create a problem in flotation, could be varied by changing agitation of airflow rates. Experimental For the laboratory flotation ...
Flotation recovery of Jameson cells is an important issue and can be variable depending on operating parameters and particle size. To assess the flotation recovery in the Jameson cell, the operation within the downcomer and operation within the separation tank should be evaluated separately.
Micro-flotation tests were conducted in an XFG flotation machine with 40 mL volume, at an impeller speed of 1920 rpm. First, 2 g magnesite particles were suspended in 35 mL DI water and agitated for 2-min in the flotation cell. Diluted NaOH (or HCl) was used to adjust the pH value of the pulp, and then conditioned for another 6-min.

The work is part of an extensive investigation of the effect of flotation operating conditions and particle properties on entrainment parameters (i.e. the degree of entrainment and water recovery). The effect of the operating conditions and particle properties in this study has been investigated and published previously with respect to the ...
In mineral flotation, rheological problems have limited the efficient upgrading of low-grade and complex ores. Since pulp and froth rheology are deemed to play different roles in influencing the separation performance, in this paper, a brief review on pulp and froth rheology in flotation is provided, with an objective of developing a basic understanding of rheology in flotation.

The high intensity of the Jameson Cell means that it is much shorter than conventional column flotation cells (see Figure 1), and it does not require air compressors to aerate the suspension of ground ore particles and water (known as a slurry or pulp) in the flotation cell. The lack of a requirement for compressed air and the lack of moving parts means that power consumption is less than for ...

The technology was introduced to the mining industry more than 25 years ago and the technology has since branched into various designs including V-cells, the patented as Imhoflot G-Cell and H-cell as the latest design. Imhoflot flotation is typically characterised as being a non-impeller flotation system, whereby all the critical tasks are ...

The flotation process is a complex interaction between the physicochemical characte- ristics of the species involved and the hydrodynamic and operating conditions in flotation cells. Efficient cell design requires knowledge about the power to be provided and the time to be spent in the cell
Froth flotation is a selective separation process, which is affected by many factors related to the floated mineral such as grade, degree of liberation, surface properties and many operating variables etc. (Cilek, 2004).
