Maximizing ore and grade recovery RCS flotation cell
DV flotation mechanism The DV (Deep Vane) flotation mechanism design improves air dispersion and bubble size distribution. The mechanism design produces powerful radial slurry pumping to the cell wall and gives strong return flows to the underside of the impeller to minimize sanding. Additionally, it is the only mechanism to give maximum

In principle, the cell functions as a shallow flotation cell. As the air and pulp are hydrau-lically lifted to the top of the pulp recircula-tion well, the mineral laden air bubble has only to travel a short distance on its own to the froth overflow level. Above are illustrations of three flotation cells. 14.2 m3 (500 cu.ft) cell 2.8 m3 (100 cu ...
