FROTH FLOATING CELL APPARATUS

Product Description

Mixed liberated particles can beseparated from each other by floatation if there is sufficient difference intheir wet-ability.

The floatation process operatesby preparing a water suspension of a mixture of relatively finely sized solids.

This is usually done in anagitated chamber open at the top. Fine bubbles of air are then dispersedthrough the agitated suspension to form a froth that rises to the top of thechamber.

Particles that are radiallywetted by water (hydrophilic) tend to remain in the water suspension.

Those particles that are noteasily wetted (hydrophobic) tend to be collected at the air bubble-waterinterface and rise to the surface attached to air bubbles.

Thus differences in the surfacechemical properties of the solids are the basis for separation.

The set up consists of a agitatedchamber open at the top. In the chamber, an impeller coupled to a shaft isfixed in a stationary diffuser.

Low-pressure air is allowed toenter in the stationary diffuser through the air passage provided with theagitator. The collector coated mineral particles adhere to the rising bubblesand are carried to the top of the cell to be removed in the froth product.
