The recent trend of installing flotation cells with volumes as large as 200 m3 in concentrators is driven mainly by economic considerations such as lower capital, operating and maintenance costs. Despite the economic advantages, the metallurgical benefits from these large cells have not yet been fully realised by the industry. This is mainly due to the lack …
view moreFlotation cells are categorized into three types: mechanical, column and reactor/separator types. After the evolutionary transfer of the Denver cell from the mineral industry in the 1950s, the flotation cell underwent major transitions in the 1980s and 1990s. Table 1.

Known that the rate of capture of ultrafines by bubbles was very slow – reason was not known. From 1969 to 1978, a series of PhD students investigated the problem.

All these parameters hold substantial importance in determining the feasibility of the process including the …

The operating conditions of the cell were maintained as in the 3-phase test work with the frother, DOW 200, dosed at 40 ppm.
