Archaeological flotation involves using water to process soil or feature fill to recover tiny artifacts. ... The Flote-Tech, the first standalone machine to support flotation, was invented by R.J. Dausman in the late 1980s. Microflotation, which uses glass beakers and magnetic stirrers for gentler processing, was developed in the 1960s for use ...
Flotation constitutes a gravity separation process, which originated from the minerals processing field. However, it has, nowadays, found several other applications, as for example in the wastewater treatment field. Concerning the necessary bubble generation method, typically dispersed-air or dissolved-air flotation was mainly used. …

Definitions. a This invention relates to a method of separating the valuable mineral constituents of naturally occurring ores from the worthless or gangue materials. More particularly, it relates to an improved froth flotation method for separating and concentrating the desired mineral constituents the process will be understood by a …
Flotation is the result of three key steps involving solid (mineral), liquid (water) and gas (air): (1) collision of mineral particles with air bubbles; (2) adhesion or formation of air …
The flotation process occurs in the aquatic environment within dedicated flotation cells that are aerated to generate air bubbles. A motor is employed to agitate and stir the slurry, ensuring the particles remain suspended uniformly throughout the duration of the process. The rotational speed of the motor depends on factors such as the size of ...
Froth flotation technology has been around for about 150 years. The first true flotation process was described by the Bessel brothers in a patent from 1877 [].Although the brothers Adolph and August co-owned a factory in Dresden, it appears that Adolph (28 September 1835, Wunstorf—12 July 1886, Dresden) was actually the inventor of the …
The invention relates to the technical field of gasified slag flotation, in particular to a gasified slag flotation collecting agent and a preparation method thereof. The collector comprises 1-3 parts of sodium dodecyl sulfate, 1-5 parts of deionized water, 15-60 parts of nonpolar hydrocarbon oil, 1/10-1/2 parts of hydrophobic particles and 1-3 parts of an …
Outotec also invented an auxiliary impeller, called FlowBooster, that further improves mixing in the tank with very low additional energy. ... by Woodgrove Technologies. Instead of separate zones in one vessel, the staged flotation reactor (SFR) divides the flotation process into three chambers: a turbulent particle collection unit, a quiescent ...
Flotation—well known in mineral processing—is a quite unique ("peculiar") separation technique as we usually confront a ternary gas/liquid/solid system, ensured …
The development of the original Potter–Delprat process, the introduction of oils to generate froth flotation and the achievement of selective flotation processing are …
The present invention discloses a flotation process for quartz tail sand and a special floatation collecting agent of the process. The floatation collecting agent provided by the present invention for quartz tail sand flotation is basically composed of the following substances of the proportion by weight: 100 of prepared amine, 50 to 150 of glacial …
The invention refers to a process to separate silicates and alkaline earth metal carbonates implementing at least one hydrophobically modified polyalkyleneimine, wherein: i)the polyalkyleneimine is hydrophobically modified by replacement of all or part of the hydrogens of their primary and/or secondary amino groups by functional group R, where R …
This presentation will outline the role of Innovation and cite several historical examples such as the Bayer and Hall Heroult processes, Cyanidation, Froth Flotation, the Kroll process, Rare ...
A breaking point in the history of mineral processing is the invention of flotation. Flotation is a physicochemical method invented at the end of the nineteenth century . Ores with low grades that cannot be enriched by physical processes can be concentrated by flotation using physicochemical characteristics of particles.
Without this process, many familiar metals and inorganic raw materials would be exceedingly scarce and costly because the high-grade ores that could be processed by simple physical and mechanical methods have long since been used up (1). Flotation initially originated from the field of mineral processing, usually termed froth …
Flotation is a significant and widely used processing technique, effectively separating valuable and gangue minerals. Mineral producers have long sought ways to consistently monitor and control the flotation process to ensure optimal conditions for effective mineral separation [].However, establishing such a sophisticated control system …
