  • Froth recovery measurement in plant scale flotation cells

    A new method for measuring froth recovery in industrial flotation cells is proposed. The technique allows measurement of the froth performance in a flotation cell directly, with minimum effect on cell operation.

  • A novel scale-up approach for mechanical flotation cells

    The scale-up relationship was developed based on dimensionless parameters. First, a scale-up factor (ξ) was defined as the ratio between the actual flotation rate (k AC) of the collection zone in a perfectly mixed industrial cell (N = 1) and the flotation rate (k B) in a laboratory batch cell, (1) ξ = k AC k B The apparent …

  • Column Flotation

    Basic Idea Flotation column cells are flotation act as three phase settlers where particles move downwards in a hindered settling environment counter-current to a flux of rising air bubbles that are generated by spargers located near the bottom of the cell.

  • A novel scale-up approach for mechanical flotation cells

    Gorain et al., 1997a, Gorain et al., 1997b and Alexander et al. (2000) suggested the use of the bubble surface area flux as the scale-up criterion by considering a linear relationship with the flotation rate. This approach was tested for cells over 50 L, where they believe the hydrodynamic effect (turbulence) to be less significant.
