Effect of height of flotation column on flow field
When the lower column height-to-diameter ratio H 2 /D increases from 1 to 4, it has no obvious effect on column flotation unit, but does effect on the flow field of the cyclone flotation unit. As the lower column height increases, the upward overflow is more prominent and the region becomes larger. Peculiarly, tangential velocity is large under ...

Column flotation is a separation method that was born within the mining industry for the recovery of fine particles, normally less than 100 microns in diameter. This process is now employed in several industries, e.g., in the civil industry for soil recovery and wastewater treatment, in the paper recycling industry for paper deinking, and in ...
Column Flotation • Theory and Practice
Key Words : Column flotation, Theory & practice, Applications. INTRODUCTION Separation of valuable minerals from gangue is far from ideal in conventional mechanical cells.

1 Froth Flotation – Fundamental Principles
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.

Influence of Inclined Plates in the Froth Zone on the Flotation
In this study, the influence of installing a set of inclined plates within the froth zone (IFC) on flotation performance of a flotation column (FC) was investigated. The inclined plates were tilted from the center of the column to the periphery. For a comparison, a conventional FC was tested in parallel. It was found that the recovery of fine ...
