Hydrodynamics of froth flotation and its effects on fine and …

Research has shown that the impeller tip speed generally varies over a range of 5–7 m/s in mechanical flotation cells and can be as high as 9 m/s, being largely dependent on cell type and size (Arbiter, 2000, Deglon et al., 2000, Fallenius, 1987). In a mechanical flotation cell, the impeller acts as the "engine" that imparts energy to the ...

Mechanical cells consume 100-200 watts/volume. Meanwhile, column cells consume 20-30 watts/volume, or about 80% more efficient (8). These deficiencies led to the idea of applying column flotation cells to the rougher circuit as an alternative to mechanical flotation cells. So, by applying column cells to replace mechanical cells commonly …

Minerals | Free Full-Text | On Limits to Flotation Cell Size

Mechanical cells have seen an exponential increase in size over the past 60 years. However, a possible size limitation due to carrying capacity constraints has been raised. Taking a Cu porphyry case, a cell sizing exercise is used to show that possible size limitation due to carrying capacity can be tested using available techniques. A range of …

New directions in flotation machine design

Mechanical flotation cells are typically operated in such a way as to keep the particles in the feed in suspension in the liquid. It is ironic that as the feed becomes coarser, the impeller speed must be increased to keep them in suspension. As a consequence, the flow conditions become further and further distanced from those that …

Improving flotation energy efficiency by optimizing cell hydrodynamics

1. Introduction. Comminution of ore is the most energy intensive stage of mineral production and therefore improvements in comminution efficiency can result in significant energy savings (Duffy et al., 2015, Ballantyne and Powell, 2014).In contrast, for froth flotation, which is not energy intensive, optimization has traditionally focused on …

1 Froth Flotation – Fundamental Principles

no flotation can occur. Contact between particles and bubbles can be accomplished in a flotation cell such as the one shown schematically in Figure 5. Figure 5: Simplified schematic of a conventional flotation cell. The rotor draws slurry through the stator and expels it to the sides, creating a suction that draws air down the shaft of the stator.
