We installed two CX5-50 ceramic disc vacuum filtration systems at a copper mine in Copiapo, Chile to efficiently dewater the final copper flotation concentrate before shipment, replacing an underperforming tower press. Since installation, the company has avoided smelter penalties for excess moisture, and enjoys lower energy and maintenance costs.

A high frother concentration produces an excessive amount of froth in the flotation cell. This increases the froth overflow and flotation rate, but, unfortunately it also decreases the concentrate grade. Collector concentration has a significant effect (either linear or non-linear) on all three quantitative response variables.

This permits either a greater tonnage with the same metallurgical results or the same tonnage and improvement in metallurgy without increasing flotation capacity. The typical froth for "low floatability ores" is a "skin flotation froth" and unless quickly removed, the mineral load may drop back into the pulp and be lost.

Flotation concentrates generally have a hydrophilic surface and a large wetting angle that increases the threshold pressure. Putting these relationships into context for vacuum filters to be effective with differential pressure of 0.8 bar, vacuum filter possibilities should extend to a mean particle size in the range of 25 to 30 μm.

Froth Flotation is a mineral processing process achieving solid-solid separation by taking profit of the chemical attribute leading to the possibility of selectively controlling the relative surface hydrophobicities of the various components mixed in an aqueous medium.. Froth flotation is the most common industrial process based on this approach. The term surface …

By keeping the level of the froth consistently equal to that of the overflow lip, the quantity of froth removed is controlled by the paddle design and the number of froth removal sweeps per minute. Details of the number of concentrate collections per minute and timing of the sweeps can be found in EMC's procedure.

Froth inside a flotation cell must be sufficiently stable to carry the hydrophobic particles to the lip of flotation cell for recovery. After froth being recovered into the cell launder, flotation products are normally transferred to the downstream dewatering circuit for removing the water (Morar et al., 2006, Wiese et al., 2011).

EFFECT. The effect is produced by a violent agitation, especially in acid or salt solutions. This throws the oil into a froth, which is heavily charged with air or other gases. This gas, of course, gives a greatly increased buoyant force. The oil in this condition assumes a certain load of mineral and holds it in a very stable condition.

The of Flotation Entrainment or Froth Entrainment is phenomenon related to how bubbles carry water. The imagery below expresses the various ways ultra-fine 'not collected' particles, represented in white, and are entrained into froth. Ultra-fine MgO in the concentrate can be reduced by improving froth drainage.

Flotation separates the metallic minerals from the gangue this way and separates molybdenite from copper sulphide. High rate thickeners are then used to thicken each of the copper and moly concentrates, and a vacuum drum (or other) filter dewaters the concentrates further before refining or storing until sale.

A conventional, draining froth bed is NOT used in the column. The regular flotation cell uses a draining froth bed to separate values and gangue (Fig. 2). As the flotation bubble, carrying its mineralized load, arrives at the interface it is surrounded by a relatively large wall of slurry containing gangue.

When crushed ore, previously mixed with water and a relatively minute addition of oil, is agitated violently in the presence of air, a froth is formed. This froth, rising to the surface of the liquid mixture, is laden with sulphides or other metallic particles, while the earthy material, or gangue, subsides to the bottom.
