Froth flotation is a physico-chemical separation process. Separation is principally based on differences in surface hydrophobicity. However, particle size and density have a significant impact. Initial flotation patent and application was developed for graphite by the Bessel brothers (1877). Similar to graphite, coal is naturally hydrophobic.Web

This in turn caused the mechanical flotation cells in the cleaner circuit, particularly those in the second cleaner bank, to become volumetrically overload. The overload reduced the cleaner circuit performance to approximately 92 per cent copper recovery at a 23 per cent copper concentrate grade, below the expected 95 per cent recovery.Web

Mass/Volume Flow Determination. The relationship between the mass (M) and the volume flow (Q rates in a given stream is defined as: = the pulp density (solids and water) in lbs/ft 3 X = solids concentration in % by weight; Volumetric flow rate can be measured by flow meters, P-Q curve relationships for pumps or directly measured.Web

Whichever reagent is used, it is better to introduce it into the cleaning circuit if possible, because any excess entering the machine through occasional faulty control is likely to cause a lower gold loss there than in the roughing circuit. The addition of copper sulphate up to 0.25 lb. per ton is sometimes found useful in speeding up flotation.Web
