Froth Flotation Process
The Froth Flotation Process is about taking advantage of the natural hydrophobicity of liberated (well ground) minerals/metals and making/playing on making them hydrophobic (water-repel) individually to carefully separate them from one another and the slurry they are in. For this purpose we use chemicals/reagents: Frothers (MIBC) is …

Column Flotation Cells
Column flotation cells, like mechanical cells, are used to perform mineral separations. Column cells do not use mechanical agitation (impellers). Instead, mixing is achieved by the turbulence provided by the rising bubbles. Columns are mostly used to produce final grade concentrates because they are capable of high selectivity.
The future of flotation
"The proportion of the cell that is highly turbulent has decreased significantly as the size of flotation cells has dramatically increased over the last 20 years," said Erico Tabosa, minerals processing engineer at Hatch. ... which addresses a problem of inconsistency in float cells. Because some ore is being recovered in each cell of a ...
