The operational proof-of-concept for the flotation cell class of 500 m3 and larger is discussed in this paper. Two different sites are used as case studies and metallurgical and hydrodynamic performance is evaluated as the means of comparison. Frother selection criteria are also discussed and a redesign on standard practices for scaling up to full-scale from lab and pilot …

In principle, the cell functions as a shallow flotation cell. As the air and pulp are hydrau-lically lifted to the top of the pulp recircula-tion well, the mineral laden air bubble has only to travel a short distance on its own to the froth overflow level. Above are illustrations of three flotation cells. 14.2 m3 (500 cu.ft) cell 2.8 m3 (100 cu ...

The most common examples of pneumatic cells are the column cell and the Jameson cell.As shown in Fig. 5.36, a flotation column is typically a tall vertical cylinder.It is fed with coal pulp at the top third of column. It has no mobile parts or agitators. Air bubbles are injected either through external or internal spargers at the bottom.

Flotation Circuits for Air-Lift and Pneumatic Cells. An air-lift machine can often be run as a rougher-cleaner cell, as in circuit No. 5 (Fig. 52), by taking a finished concentrate off the first few feet and returning the froth from the rest of the machine to the feed end. This method is also applicable to pneumatic cells, but its use is not ...

The control of a pneumatic cell is different from that of a machine of the mechanically agitated type, of which each cell is capable of performing the function of a high-speed conditioner. Little conditioning takes place once the pulp has entered a pneumatic cell, and provision must therefore be made for its proper preparation when employing ...

It combines a pneumatic spray-in principle with a column method. The pneumatic component creates very small gas bubbles and inserts high kinetic energy. Feed pulp and gas are mixed inside the mixing chambers of the ejector system before being sprayed into the cell. This results in the increased recovery of fine particles.

Flotation cells require precise control of compressed air because the frothing process efficiency is based on the speed of the froth as it moves from the surface of the slurry to the recovery area. The speed of the froth is controlled by the air bubbles induced into the flotation cell, tank level and reagent dosages.
