Ultrafine Particle Flotation in a Concept Flotation Cell Combining

Froth flotation faces increasing challenges in separating particles as those become finer and more complex, thus reducing the efficiency of the separation process. A lab flotation apparatus has been designed combining the advantages of agitator-type froth flotation for high turbulences and column flotation with a deep froth zone for a fractionating effect, also enabling …

Research and application of fluidized flotation units: A review

Flotation cells have a wide range of applications in the field of particle separation as a traditional flotation unit. Due to the declining ore grades and the increasing market demand for mineral resources, recovering particles in a wider range of sizes efficiently is a challenge that plants must face, but which is not an advantage of traditional units.

Fine and ultrafine flotation with the Concorde Cell TM

The Concorde Cell is a high-intensity pneumatic flotation cell dedicated to fines and ultrafines. Its development by Professor Graeme Jameson and later on by was driven by two considerations: a reduction in bubble size and an increase in the shear rate and energy dissipation rate increases the particle–bubble collision and attachment efficiencies of fine …

Full article: Understanding the Effects of Hydrophobic Particle

1. Introduction. One of the major challenges faced by the resources industry is the poor separation of fine gangue particles from value particles in froth flotation (Wills and Finch Citation 2016).In a flotation cell, normally the value particles are rendered hydrophobic and then attach to air bubbles and rise to the top of the flotation cell as particle-bubble aggregates …
