FLOTATION
Flotation is a process in Liquid-Solid Separation technology whereby solids in suspension are recovered by their attachment to gas (usually air) bubbles, usually with objective of removing the solids from the liquid. The particles most effectively removed are in the size range from 10 to 200 μm. The particle-bubble aggregates that are formed have a …
A Review of Flotation Physical Froth Flow Modifiers
Over the past few decades, the need to process more minerals while lowering capital costs has led to an increase in the size of flotation cells, e.g., 0.03 m3 to 1000 m3. However, this increase has created new challenges in the operation and design of industrial flotation cells, particularly in terms of froth removal, because the distance the …
