·Froth flotation was commercially introduced early in the 20th century Now almost 100 years later it is the most important and widely used separating method for its application to mineral flotation the ore is first ground in water to a certain size to produce a suspension which is then subjected to vigorous mixing in a suitable vessel
·Flotation process optimization Lost recovery in the flotation process results in lost revenue Mines now must process more complex ores making operation of flotation circuits more difficult Metso Outotoc experts can help identify the optimum feed size cell design and operational parameters to maximize recovery and revenue Upgrades

·A 2 m diameter REFLUX Flotation Cell was fed at roughly 210 m 3 /h equivalent to a flux of cm/s about twice the maximum rate used in conventional flotation cells The coal feed slurry had 59 64 wt% head ash and nominal size range − mm Sauter mean size mm
·One of the key parameters in flotation is the particle size distribution of the feed and it has been shown in several studies that the optimal size range for flotation is relatively narrow approximately 20 150 μm [9] [14] Particle hydrophobicity and contact angle in addition to hydrodynamic factors determine the attachment of particles
The original WEMCO flotation cells built their reputation on achieving highest possible recovery while also offering easier start up simpler operation and lower reagent consumption than other flotation cell designs And with 40 000 machines it s quite the
Jameson Cell has 100% accurate scale up reliability and is the real word specification in any and all duties within a flotation circuit rougher and scavenger duty; cleaner and cleaner scavenger duty In fact a single Jameson Cell has successfully replaced a traditional circuit of cells; and unlike other competing cells it has no moving parts
