Adjusting Pulp and Air Levels to Troubleshoot Flotation Cell Froth Movement

Any time that you have an overloaded froth condition the OVERFLOW that is going over the side of the cell will slow down as the froth column begins to collapse under the weight of the mineral. The first corrective reaction is to raise the pulp level or add air to the cells to quickly increase the overflow.

Explaining the Process of Froth Flotation

The flotation process for the concentration of ores is a method by means of which one or more of the minerals in the ore (usually the valuable ones) are picked up by means of a liquid film and floated at the surface of a mass of fluid pulp. Here they are separated from the other minerals, which remain immersed in the body of the pulp. In …

Flotation Depressants

First let's change the amount of the Flotation Depressants used. The valuable mineral that isn't liberated from the unwanted mineral will begin to be depressed along with the waste.
