Flotation circuits are a common technology for the concentration of a broad range of minerals and wastewater treatments. Froth flotation is based on differences in the ability of air bubbles to adhere to specific mineral surfaces in a solid/liquid slurry.
Read More2015-8-12 The UNDERFLOW is the pulp. When the pulp has had all the mineral extracted from it that the circuit was able to, and is discharged it is then called the flotation TAILINGS of the circuit. The flotation HEADS, the CONCENTRATE and the TAILINGS are the most important samples for the flotation operator that are taken. The assays from these will tell the operator the amount of valuable mineral coming in to the circuit.

An air-lift machine can often be run as a rougher-cleaner cell, as in circuit No. 5 (Fig. 52), by taking a finished concentrate off the first few feet and returning the froth from the rest of the machine to the feed end. This method is also applicable to pneumatic cells, but its use is not common.

Read MoreThis paper describes the design of a molybdenite flotation circuit using FLEET technology applied to kinetics data produced from laboratory flotation testing and distributed across theblocks of a mine plan using a geostatistical approach. The geostatistics assigned the statistical error that arises from having a limited amount of sample testing data to the kinetics estimates ofeach block of ore in the mine plan.
