The model was calibrated and validated with experimental data from Quintanilla et al. (2021b). An overview of the main aspects of the dynamic model and considerations are presented in this section.
The physical activities in a flotation cell involve the movement of solid particles driven by the flow of air and liquid. As illustrated in Fig. 1, Fig. 5, considering the different roles of pulp and froth in determining the cell dynamics, the flotation cell is divided into two sections: froth volume and pulp volume.The froth volume and pulp volume are …

The operation of a froth flotation column can be described by a nonlinear convection–diffusion partial differential equation that incorporates the solids–flux and drift–flux theories as well as a model of drainage. The resulting model predicts the bubble and (gangue) particle volume fractions as functions of height and time.

Froth flotation is widely used in mineral processing to separate valuable mineral ores from gangue or waste material. As such, improved monitoring and control of flotation systems can have a significant impact on mineral processing efficiency. To this end, videographic monitoring of flotation cells is well established commercially to enable decision support …
A three-phase model of froth flotation, consisting of a pulp and two distinct froth phases, is devel- oped for describing mass transport in flotation cells.

While the model equations presented in Zaragoza and Herbst (1989) and Putz and Cipriano (2015) were developed for a flotation cell system, Tian et al.

As for continuous flotation modelling, the overall recovery considers the froth recovery and entrainment parameters using the model suggested by Savassi (2005). In addition, mineralogical and chemical information allows for the study of the ore variability by using the OreMet optimizer module ( Talikka et al., 2018 ).
Generally, entrainment is a two-step transfer process [17,18,19,20], one at the upper layer of the pulp to the flotation froth, and the other from froth to the concentrate.For the first step, the literature has reported three accepted mechanisms, which are boundary layer theory [21,22,23], bubble wake theory [22,23,24], and bubble swarm …
This study proposes an integrated multi-mode modeling method for a froth flotation cell. Three types of models are built, including a simplified kinetic model, a compensated kinetic model and an integrated multi-mode model.

Screen fractionation of each froth product collected at different time intervals during a single kinetic flotation test is sufficient to generate the data required by the model for analysis. The model expression explicitly contains the cell volume, aeration rate, volumetric hold-up, mean bubble size, and particle density as fixed input variables.
The main application of the models is to assist both flotation cell operation and design by providing a scale-up procedure to predict froth performance. The models can also be integrated into the existing process control system, such * Corresponding author. Tel.: +27-14-598-2233; fax: +27-14-5982432.
