A Review of Flotation Physical Froth Flow Modifiers
Over the past few decades, the need to process more minerals while lowering capital costs has led to an increase in the size of flotation cells, e.g., 0.03 m3 to 1000 m3. However, this increase has created new challenges in the operation and design of industrial flotation cells, particularly in terms of froth removal, because the distance the froth must …

A practical approach to plant-scale flotation optimization
The only way to reliably know the amount of air entering a flotation cell is to physically measure it with some kind of probe. The APBS can be used to measure J g and bubble size in an industrial flotation cell. It is impractical to physically measure J g each time an air rate is changed on a plant.

Advanced Techniques on Fine and Coarse Particle Flotation
Flotation is a method that enables the separation of hydrophobic particles with the help of air bubbles (Fig. 3 a). In flotation, the particles adhere to air bubbles depending on solid, liquid, and gas contact phases. The interaction of particles and bubbles includes collision, adhesion, and stability [ 3, 4, 5 ].
