flotation cells over time Figure 1 Flotation cell size development throughout the years Outotec 2012 When looking forward in a Boliden perspective with regard to constructing new concentrator plants there is a need to know how to implement the most low cost flotation circuit with retained or improved results
Safari et al 2016b showed why some flotation cells operate at high energy input and have high performance for fine particles; some flotation cells operate at low energy input and have high performance for coarse particles The OGC was tested in a wide range of particle size fractions up to 650 µm
This class of flotation devices is sometimes referred to as two stage flotation cells Eriez developed and patented its two stage device called the StackCell in 2008 Today the company has more than 30 fullscale installations in coal flotation A cut away of the Stack Cell is shown as Figure 2 The design features a tank within a tank
Our REFLUX Flotation Cells The RFC can be used for rougher scavenger and cleaner flotation applications and for tailings reprocessing Due to its high capacity and low footprint it is also easy to add into existing flotation systems as a flexible and lower CAPEX solution to increase capacity and optimise flotation performance
right flotation solution into your process your plant will experience RCS flotation concept Combining the benefits of circular cells with the unique features of the patented DV mechanism the RCS Reactor Cell System flotation technology has been developed to create ideal conditions to maximize flotation performance for all roughing
Ultrasonic treatment has been widely used in the mineral flotation process due to its advantages in terms of operational simplicity no secondary pollutant formation and safety
The froth flotation process typically involves a series of multiple flotation cells arranged in a sequential manner This configuration allows for a step wise separation of valuable minerals from the ore with each cell playing a specific role in the overall process [] The use of multiple cells in series enhances the efficiency of the flotation process by optimizing the

The Flotation Contact Cell is a slurry aeration flotation device with no moving parts The Contact Cell is very compact highly efficient simple to operate and has low energy and maintenance costs LOW CAPITAL COST PER UNIT RECOVERY • The unique high shear bubble contacting system achieves very fast flotation kinetics
OCS 4D© is among the most cost and time effective proven tools for improving metallurgic plant performance continuously maximizing plant throughput and recovery while optimizing production cost Since 1990 Metso Outotec has provided optimizing control systems for grinding and flotation circuits with successful applications in Europe North &
9 5 The volume of pulp that is swept by a bubble per second is where Ub is the local rise 4 D2 bhUb velocity of the bubble and Dbh the bubble diameter projected on to the horizontal plane This is generally different to the volume equivalent bubble diameter Dbe because a rising bubble distorts into an ellipsoidal shape unless it is very small
Flotation data for the design of process plants Part 1 testing and design procedures R C Dunne 1 G S Lane2 G D Richmond3 and J Dioses2 This paper discusses the methods used in the design of flotation plants including benchscale batch and locked cycle tests and pilot plant trials The methods used to establish appropriate
The inherent design and operation is analogous to essentially bubbling air through a column of water using the flotation cell as the bubble generating device Laskowski 2003 used an open top Leeds flotation cell to generate bubbles and the UCT Bubble Sizer to perform bubble size measurements which were used to measure the CCC for a series
