Several studies have combined theoretical models for particle-bubble collision, attachment and detachment in simulations of agitated flotation cells (Saint Amand, 1999, Koh and Schwarz, 2003, Pyke et al., 2003, Sherrell and Yoon, 2005).These studies have generally confirmed that the effect of energy input on flotation kinetics is a balance …
The mechanical flotation cell is a 3 L modified Leeds batch cell which can be operated at impeller speeds of up to 1500 rpm and air flow rates of up to 7 l/min. The froth depth is adjusted and maintained by level control. The oscillating grid flotation cell (OGC) is a 10 L cell which is agitated by 19 grids mounted on a vertical shaft.
Variables of hydrodynamics are equally important as those of surface chemistry in determining the efficiency of froth flotation processes. In a mechanical flotation cell, macro hydrodynamics is responsible for solids suspension and aggregates transport, and micro-turbulence plays an important role in the sub-processes of flotation, …

Jameson Cell has 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.
As an integral part of a flotation circuit, column flotation is highly effective in producing high-quality product, offering superior recovery of fine materials. Through proper column sizing and design, this technology complements mechanical cells and improves overall flotation circuit performance. M 01-24 2000-7-ENG V2
