Experiences and considerations

from the 160 m3 (5,650 cu ft) flotation cells, through to the 257 m3 (9,076 cu ft) cells and to the current 660 m3 (23,380 cu ft) machines. The contributions of specific copper concentrators to this growth phase are reviewed in this paper. The historical basis of flotation machine scale-up is also briefly discussed.

History of Flotation Technology

A.J. Lynch, J.S. Watt, J.A. Finch, and G.E. Harbort. A B S T R A C T. The development of flotation as a major industrial process occurred during three main time periods. During 1860 to 1900, small-scale attempts were made in industry to float or agglomer-ate the valuable minerals in ores and wash away the waste minerals. From 1900 to 1925, the economic necessity to concentrate fine …

History of Mining

Underground mining is mainly associated with lead, zinc, gold, and silver deposits, yet a significant part of the country's copper, manganese, and iron has nevertheless been exploited through underground mining. The mining methods applied underground in the few mines Romania still has are the same ones which were in used before 1990.

SELECTION OF MECHANICAL FLOTATION EQUIPMENT

Mechanical flotation cells can be broken down into two broad categories based on how air is introduced to the cell. In a self aspirated flotation cell air is introduced to the slurry, the vacuum created by the rotorusing . In a forced air flotation cell air is generated external to the cell by a low pressure blower,, and pumped down the

Introduction

1.1.1 Flotation in Ancient Times. Flotation was applied in the medical and mining industries as early as the Ming Dynasty. In the medical field, the natural hydrophobicity of mineral surface is used to purify mineral drugs such as cinnabar and talc so that fine mineral mixture floats on the water surface and is separated from sinking gangue.

By introducing air bubbles, flotation cells allow minerals to attach to the bubbles and rise to the surface, where they can be collected as concentrate, while unwanted materials sink as tailings. Widely used in mining, flotation cells enhance mineral recovery and purity, making them essential for processing ores like copper, lead, and zinc.
