Flotation cells: Selecting the correct concentrate launder design

The selection of the size, number and type of flotation cells for a particular duty depends on two important factors. These are the required flotation residence time and the physical constraints of how much concentrate can be recovered for a given froth surface area and concentrate lip length. The residence time is influenced by ore type and ...

The performance of the flotation cell is highly influenced by the size, velocity, and distribution of air bubbles within the pulp. Smaller bubbles provide a larger surface area for particle attachment, increasing the probability of collision and attachment between air bubbles and mineral particles, which enhances recovery efficiency.
