Flotation cell technology and circuit design—an Anglo Platinum perspective Pre 1980s—Mineral extraction circuits were charac-terized by multiple small flotation machines (typically 1m3) with short residence times, employing a single mill-float configuration. Typically a three-stage crushing, closed circuit ball mill comminution circuit
A flash flotation cell typically receives cyclone underflow material as its feed; a portion of this feed material (very coarse particles and small rocks) will bypass directly to the tailings stream (which usually doubles as a secondary mill feed), while the finer material and a higher proportion of the water will be drawn into the impeller ...

StackCell flotation reduces conventional flotation residence time requirement by 75 to 85% and increases selective recovery of fine particles and slow floating minerals, which increases profitability and improves …
Column flotation cells, like mechanical cells, are used to perform mineral separations. Column cells do not use mechanical agitation (impellers). Instead, mixing is achieved by the turbulence provided by the rising bubbles. Columns are mostly used to produce final grade concentrates because they are capable of high selectivity.
The self-aspirating WEMCO flotation technology, whether incorporated into the original 1+1 flotation machine design or the newer-generation SmartCell ® flotation cell, combines ease of operation with improved metallurgical performance. The result is excellent particle recovery in a simple, proven induced-air design.
Highest recovery rates. For decades, WEMCO flotation cells have consistently delivered the highest recovery. WEMCO II's combination of efficient aeration and optimum solids suspension not only increases recovery and concentrate grade performance, but also reduces reagent consumption.

2.2.2. Bubble size. Bubble size distributions generated within an operating cell are primarily a function of the rotor–stator system and air addition rate, as well as secondary processes such as bubble coalescence and break-up (Kracht and Finch, 2009, Nesset et al., 2006, Grau et al., 2005, Cho and Laskowski, 2002).The concentration of …
Flotation equipment such as mechanical flotation cells and flotation columns are commonly designed to provide even dispersal of bubbles within the pulp zone of the tank. The mapping of void fraction in the volume surrounding the downcomer for air to pulp ratios of 0.3, 0.54, and 0.94 shows that this is not the case for the Jameson Cell, …
The excellent performance of Mecru NM round flotation cell greatly improves the flotation recovery rate of coarse and fine particles. The operation is simple, the energy consumption and air consumption are …
