no flotation can occur. Contact between particles and bubbles can be accomplished in a flotation cell such as the one shown schematically in Figure 5. Figure 5: Simplified schematic of a conventional flotation cell. The rotor draws slurry through the stator and expels it to the sides, creating a suction that draws air down the shaft of the stator.
Pneumatic flotation cells are typically classified as high-intensity flotation machines with rapid kinetics, resulting in short residence times, often half that of mechanical flotation cells and a ...

FLOT-ART is discussed for the flotation of copper and copper–gold ores leveraging the recent advancements in grinding, mineral surface analysis, electrochemistry, cell hydrodynamics and digital technologies for a dynamic process control of flotation plants.
Disseminated copper ores (porphyry copper, copper sandstones and vein ores) characterized by low content of pyrite sulfur and copper (0.4–2.0%), depending on the pyrite content, can be …
Flotation may also prove to be the more economical process for the ore containing such minerals as stibnite, copper-bearing sulphides, tellurides, and others which require roasting before cyanidation, because this reduces the …
of pneumatic flotation cells over mechanical flotation cells, as well as flotation columns, for the flotation of sulfide ore were demonstrated. Test results indicated that the Cu grade and recovery for concentrates obtained when using the pneumatic flotation cell were 1% to 2% and 4%, respectively, higher than those obtained when using the ...
Disseminated copper ores (porphyry copper, copper sandstones and vein ores) characterized by low content of pyrite sulfur and copper (0.4–2.0%), depending on the pyrite content, can be processed to obtain only copper concentrate or copper and pyrite concentrates.
With economic metallurgy as its objective, flotation machines have changed over the years as the demands on the process have changed.
flotation cell, the only parameter that can be manipulated to reduce the entrainment is water recovery. If additional water is added to dilute the contents of the flotation cell, and the flow rate of water to the concentrate remains the same, the water recovery will be reduced.
An Example of flotation cell capacity and circuit retention time approximation: Estimate the volume of conditioners and flotation cells required to handle 9100 dry tons of ore per 24 hours at 30% pulp solids by weight, with an ore specific gravity of 3.1. Five minutes conditioning time and 15 minutes flotation time are desired.
Flotation may also prove to be the more economical process for the ore containing such minerals as stibnite, copper-bearing sulphides, tellurides, and others which require roasting before cyanidation, because this reduces the tonnage passing through the furnace.
Our flotation cells are cell to cell type flotation machine which always combine several sets together as roughing stage, cleaning stages, or scavenging stages. Prominer can provide SF series self-priming flotation machine and XCF/KYF series pneumatic flotation cell which are mainstream products for the recovery and upgrading of sulfide ores.
