Froth flotation faces increasing challenges in separating particles as those become finer and more complex, thus reducing the efficiency of the separation process. A lab flotation apparatus has been designed combining the advantages of agitator-type froth flotation for high turbulences and column flotation with a deep froth zone for a fractionating effect, also enabling …

Flotation Circuits. Flotation circuits are typically comprised of rougher, scavenger and cleaner flotation banks. Rougher and scavenger banks are focused on recovery and thus provide maximum residence time. Rougher banks can be large with the number of cells being 5 or greater. Scavenger cells are the last line of defense for avoiding losses.
