2016-4-14 The reason why you need Flash Flotation in a Closed Grinding Circuit relates to “Recovering your mineral as soon as free” which has long been recognized in ore dressing practice. This not only applies to gravity treatment but also to flotation. For this application the Flash Flotation Cell was developed for use in the grinding circuit
Example of economic trade-off between throughput/grind size and flotation recovery (after Runge, Tabosa and Holtham, 2014) The flotation circuit can be adjusted and optimized for coarser feed if
At the heart of the coarse particle flotation circuit, ’s coarseAIR™ offers improved recovery at coarser grind sizes. This technology expands what is traditionally thought of as “liberation classes” and achieves recovery of particles considered poorly liberated in a conventional sense.
2021-9-1 10 L bulk samples from specific circuit points were sourced from three Australian flotation operations, processing copper ore (concentrator 1), zinc/lead ore (concentrator 2) and gold ore (concentrator 3), believing that it would be a simple matter of using a magnet to remove the grinding media debris for examination ().The sampling method involved grab samples of composites at the indicated
2016-4-25 Coarser grind, more circulating load. Effect on classifier overflow depends on fineness of ore feed and amount of increase in feed rate. Decrease from too high. Finer grind, less circulating load. Probably more fine sand in classifier overflow. How to Operate a Flotation Circuit
material entering a flotation circuit in terms of feed rate (tph), feed grind (P 80), head grade and flotation kinetic parameters at that grind. These parameters are a description of each mineral species in terms of: • the ultimate recovery achievable by true flotation, R max (that is, flotation by attachment only after the contribution
2006-5-1 In reality the circuit is simpler, since each flotation stage can be tailored to suit its feed, and is not disrupted by circulating loads. Theoretically fines float more slowly, but in reality the staged grind float does not need more flotation capacity—in our experience it may need less capacity, since •
2015-7-17 grind is the single most effective control action influencing the performance of the ore in a flotation plant but in practice, this could mean a reduction of the ore to slimes, which are amenable to flotation.

The models are developed using data collected from an industrial flotation circuit. The predicted grind size versus flotation recovery relationship produced from the different techniques has then been compared.

This strategy allows the operator of the process to increase or decrease production rate by specifying a coarser or finer grind size required for flotation.
2018-2-22 flotation at a much coarser grind in standard flotation circuits could provide significant benefits in terms of reducing energy consumption, which is one of the biggest issues in mineral processing (Daniel and Lewis-Gray, 2011), provided that no losses in recovery are determined.
