Estimation of Rate Constants and Mixing Characteristics in …
The effect of mixing in a flotation column on the flotation rate constant and various relationship in relation to residence time distributions was estimated and developed. A performance curve (C/F) for the column showed that the recovery is maximal in the range 30–100 μm and decreases for fine and larger particles.

COLUMN FLOTATION MODELLING AND TECHNOLOGY
Industrial flotation columns are square or circular, typically 0.5-3m in diameter or side, and 12-15m height. Since their invention, square columns have been marketed commercially by the Column Flotation Company of Canada Ltd. The apparent simplicity of the column has led others to copy the original idea and make their own "homemade" columns.
