Entrainment of Gangue Minerals in Froth Flotation

Entrainment is a process by which fine and ultrafine particles are transferred to the flotation froth from the top of the flotation pulp, and eventually discharge to the concentrate product, even when they are not attached to gas bubbles. Therefore, entrainment can be considered as a two-step process, one at the upper layer of the pulp …

The effect of agitation on the flotation of platinum ores

Flotation is routinely used for the beneficiation of platinum ores for which the bulk of world production is from South Africa. Most South African platinum concentrators use mechanically agitated flotation cells which operate with power intensities higher than the typical industrial range of 1.0–2.0 kW/m 3.This is due to the general philosophy in …


Flotation Cell

In column flotation air bubble agitation is not sufficient to keep large particles in suspension so that residence times are short in comparison to a bank of mechanical flotation cells. Originally developed in Canada in the 1960s as cleaning cells, this type of cell has become common in the flotation circuit of new plants, as both roughing and ...


Technological assessments on recent developments in fine …

In 2019, the largest mechanical flotation cell with a volume of 680 m 3 (500 kW motor power) was installed in Dexing Copper mine (China) with a throughput of 30–100 m 3 /min (Yang et al., 2019). This strategy has been a matter of argument over many years. ... Since there is no agitation and internal movement involved within the cell, it has a ...
