FAQs for column flotation cells. What is a forced-air flotation cell? A forced-flotation cell is a type of flotation device used in mineral processing to separate valuable minerals from waste (gangue). They use an external air blower to introduce air into the slurry through a hollow shaft and holes in the rotor. The rotor/stator shear and ...
