Limiting conditions in large flotation cells: Froth recovery and
At the industrial scale, the flotation process is facilitated by flotation machines of different types (e.g., mechanical cells, flotation columns, Jameson cells and others). Currently, low-grade and complex ores are being treated due to a significant increase in mineral demand, driving the mining industry to increase its processing The major driving forces of the evolution of modern flotation cells are the reduction in energy and water consumption, lower footprint space and an increase in efficiency and capacity. Although many changes in flotation cell design have been made, the improvements in flotation de-inking performance are not always obvious.Froth Flotation an overview ScienceDirect Topics

A froth flotation cell consists typically of a collection zone (or pulp zone) located below the feed particle point, and a cleaning zone, (or froth zone), above the particle feed point [26] (Figure 2). The collection zone is fed back-stream by the pulp pushed by the bubble swarm created by a gas sparger at the bottom of the flotation cell.Although pneumatic flotation * There is no more production of these cells in the market machines e.g., Imhoflot TM,and Jameson TM were invented in the 1980s, their application in mining(PDF) Froth flotation process and its application ResearchGate

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.

1. Introduction. Froth flotation was undoubtedly the most innovative and groundbreaking discovery for mining in the 19th century (Wills and Finch, 2015).Nevertheless, it did not last long that scientists recognized its limitations for extremely fine and coarse particles, which has remained a long-standing unsolved issue in the Yianatos [ 11] in 2008 reported the bubble loading in an industrial copper flotation cell as 26.5 g/L and 59.0 g/L (about 0.006 mg/mm 2 and 0.010 mg/mm 2 ). In recent studies, the bubble loading in column flotation of quartz has been found to be in the range of 0.01 to 0.04 mg/mm 2 [ 16, 17 ].
