Optimizing Flotation Cells
Flotation Cells (Froth Flotation) were developed to separate and recover high value Sulphide ores from low grade ore bodies. The ore is crushed and milled at the concentrator in a process known as comminution, where the mineral is in suspension in slurry. The particle size for mineral being recovered is generally less than <0.1mm.

A phenomenological model for an industrial flash flotation cell
The ore treated by this plant is a refractory gold ore, with pyrite being the mineral of interest for flotation. Pyrite is the dominant sulphide; tomographic (3D) analysis of the ore has shown that approximately 82% of the pyrite grains are between 38 and 425 μm ( AMIRA, 2012 ).
1 Froth Flotation – Fundamental Principles
no flotation can occur. Contact between particles and bubbles can be accomplished in a flotation cell such as the one shown schematically in Figure 5. Figure 5: Simplified schematic of a conventional flotation cell. The rotor draws slurry through the stator and expels it to the sides, creating a suction that draws air down the shaft of the stator.
