An Overview of Optimizing Strategies for Flotation Banks

A flotation bank is a serial arrangement of cells. How to optimally operate a bank remains a challenge. This article reviews three reported strategies: air profiling, mass-pull (froth velocity) profiling and Peak Air Recovery (PAR) profiling. These are all ways of manipulating the recovery profile down a bank, which may be the property being …

The flotation of low-grade manganese ore using a novel linoleate

It demonstrated that the use of sodium carbonate instead of sodium hydroxide as the pH regulator, dosages of depressant and collector, and the addition of synergist are essential to the effective recovery of Mn in the flotation.

Predicting and correcting grade-recovery curves

It is important to emphasise that for batch flotation, the grade-recovery curve is fully described solely from the instantaneous concentrate and tailing grade data.

This quantity gave acceptable results and was not investigated as a variable. Although the concentrate grade was higher with a shorter flotation time, recovery of Pt-Pd values was considerably lower. Likewise, an increase in concentrate grade was obtained by floating at 20 pct rather than 40 pct solids, but Pt-Pd recovery decreased.

Entrainment of Gangue Minerals in Froth Flotation

The froth layer thickness is crucial in flotation process, affecting both the recovery and the grade of the flotation concentrate. In general, the separation between the hydrophobic and the hydrophilic particles takes place in the pulp zone, but drainage in the froth zone is also important in controlling the selectivity of the flotation process.

The appropriate regrinding of all primary concentrates in the vertimills had a major effect on both concentrate grade and recovery. The regrind product size was a d80 of 20 μm. The two cleaner circuits were simplified to a single circuit. All of these changes improved the saleable concentrate to a grade of 240 g/t Pd at a recovery of 74%.

It is clearly observed that optimum grade and recovery for copper was achieved at 4 min flotation time; however, for other valuable minerals, the ideal flotation time was ca 3.5 min. Increasing flotation time to 10 min (1st stage– 9 min+ 2nd stage −1 min), reduces copper concentrate grade to 2.3% from 12.28%.
