1. Introduction. Froth flotation is the largest tonnage separation in mineral processing by which valuable mineral is separated from waste rock. Advances in control and optimisation of the froth flotation process are of great relevance since even very small increases in recovery lead to large economic benefits (Ferreira and Loveday, 2000, …

1. Introduction. Comminution of ore is the most energy intensive stage of mineral production and therefore improvements in comminution efficiency can result in significant energy savings (Duffy et al., 2015, Ballantyne and Powell, 2014).In contrast, for froth flotation, which is not energy intensive, optimization has traditionally focused on …

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.

Flotation machines, in general, may be categorized into four different classes: (i) mechanical or con- ventional cells; (ii) energy-intensive pneumatic cells; (iii) column …

The StackCell, which is much smaller than a traditional flotation cell, can shrink the size of a flotation plant by 50%. The knock-on effect is that it also requires less concrete (smaller carbon footprint), less piping to connect the units, and fewer electrical connections and cable trays and pipe racks, thus reducing CAPEX and engineering ...
