Flotation Process
The linear structure of the flotation cells has a large surface area, which has reject separation and fiber loss. This flotation cell design also contributes to high sludge consistency (less water in the sludge) by ensuring smooth drainage of froth (Aksela, 2008). The elliptical shape of the flotation cells in this technology is optimal for ...

A froth flotation cell consists typically of a collection zone (or pulp zone) located below the feed particle point, and a cleaning zone, (or froth zone), above the particle feed point [26] (Figure 2). The collection zone is fed back-stream by the pulp pushed by the bubble swarm created by a gas sparger at the bottom of the flotation cell.

Flotation technique: Its mechanisms and design parameters
3.7.1. Entrainment theory and empirical correlations. There are two mechanisms of entrainment observed in flotation column. First, one is due to the introduction of feed water which contains suspended solid particle, swept into the froth and second is due to entrapment of fine particle (gangue) in rising bubble [ 6 ].

New directions in flotation machine design
A new cell has been developed, the Concorde Cell, in which the pre-aerated feed is raised to supersonic velocities before passing into a high-shear zone in the flotation cell. The local dissipation rate is of the order of 100 kW/m 3, one to two orders of magnitude higher than is available in conventional mechanical cells.

The column flotation concept has been around for nearly 40 years, but it attracted attention with the copper mining problems of the early 1980s. The column flotation technique uses the countercurrent principle to improve separation by reducing entrapment of particles. A schematic diagram of column flotation cells is shown in Figure -- .
