The flotation machine must ensure a good stirring effect on the slurry so that the ore particles will not settle but in a suspended state and can be evenly distributed in the tank and at the same time promote the dissolution of some insoluble agents to facilitate the full effect of the agent and the ore particles
In this paper the intelligent modelling of relationship between froth characteristics and the metallurgical performance in a pilot column flotation of iron ore was established Column flotation

The Brucutu iron ore mine Minas Gerais Brazil is Vale s largest iron producing operation achieving around 21 million tons per annum Evaluation of flotation performance is of high importance as even small gains can lead to large monetary benefits Cell by cell samples of the froth products selected feed and pulp products were analyzed for flow rate particle size
This configuration may change completely depending on the ore type particle size and product demands Once the ore particle size is appropriate for column flotation circuits may vary from having all cells as mechanical cells to all of them as columns as well as various combinations of both Figure 4 and 5 present some examples of real circuits
Fine particle flotation has been one of the main problems in many mineral processing plants The bubble particle collision rate is very low for fine particles which reduces flotation efficiency Also the existence of slimes is generally detrimental to the flotation process affecting the selectivity and the quality of the concentrates Besides it causes an increase in
Column flotation cells have become the most popular machine design for industrial applications that require high purity concentrates A typical iron ore washing plant for treating iron ore fines <10 mm The potential for improved selectivity has made column flotation cells a popular choice for upgrading fine coal
with Column Flotation To date Eriez Flotation has supplied nearly 1000 flotation columns throughout the world for mineral concentrating applications that include iron ore base metals gold industrial minerals fertilizers phosphate and potash energy coal and oil sands and specialty applications such as oil/water separation
Froth flotation is a selective process used to separate different components in ores based on their hydrophobicity where hydrophobic particles attach to bubbles and concentrate in the froth phase while hydrophilic particles remain in the slurry phase [] Reverse flotation is a key process for the purification of iron concentrate after magnetic separation [2 3 4]
The flotation of iron ores is performed in circuits consisting of mechanical cells columns or a combination of both types of machines which all have difficulty in collecting quartz particles with particle sizes above It is likely that the mechanical cells used in iron ore flotation have evolved to the conditions measured here gas rate
Flotation can be performed in mechanical cells or flotation columns Flotation columns have become common in industry The flotation of iron ore was first investigated in America starting in

1 Introduction On Friday 14 May 2010 the question was posted on the MEI blog Did column flotation cells ever realise their potential The respondents reached no clear consensus but the valid comment was made that When column flotation was first patented in the early 1980s it lead to a spate of dedicated books conferences and intensive research and
employing flotation on commercial scale for processing of iron ore The most noted one is the Tilden Mine of Michigan where amine flotation is used in addition to selective flocculation and desliming But considering the present scenario the recent developments such as column flotation technology it should be possible to extend the PIO 07 103
Basic Idea Flotation column cells are flotation act as three phase settlers where particles move downwards in a hindered settling environment counter current to a flux of rising air bubbles that are generated by spargers located near the bottom of the cell The sparger technology is an important design choice and allows the user to optimize the performance based on the feed
After the pulp and flotation reagent are fully mixed they are sent to the flotation column through the central feeding device The pulp is slowly descended under the action of gravity and the compressed air is dispersed into a large number of tiny bubbles through the inflator which are evenly distributed on the entire section of the column and rise slowly
The latter is an advanced flotation machine Nova Cell A column flotation cell CFC was invented in the 1960s but did not gain wide acceptance in processing base metals until the early 1980s potash magnesite and many other base metal applications like copper molybdenum zinc and reverse iron ore flotation using H cell V cell
