Frothers in flotation: A review of performance and function …

In a flotation cell, the size of air bubbles decreases with increasing the frother concentration. This is due to a lowering of the interfacial (gas–liquid) tension and the stabilization of the thin liquid film formed between colliding air bubbles, hence preventing their coalescence (Grau and Laskowski, 2008, Khoshdast and Sam, 2011, Khoshdast et al., 2011).

Effects of flotation operational parameters on froth stability …

Introduction. Froth stability plays an important role in determining selectivity and recovery in flotation (Farrokhpay, 2011). It should be noted that froth with very high stability is not desirable because in addition to recovering the particles attached to the bubbles, it creates favourable conditions for entrainment (Zheng, Franzidis, and Johnson, 2006).

SELECTION OF MECHANICAL FLOTATION EQUIPMENT

Mechanical flotation cells can be broken down into two broad categories based on how air is introduced to the cell. In a self aspirated flotation cell air is introduced to the slurry, the vacuum created by the rotorusing . In a forced air flotation cell air is generated external to the cell by a low pressure blower,, and pumped down the

DR Flotation Machine

ground solids. In principle, the cell functions as a shallow flotation cell. As the air and pulp are hydraulically lifted to the top of the pulp recirculation 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
