The use of column flotation was considered for the reverse flotation of iron ore, where the gangue quartz was recovered in the froth product This use of the froth for carrying the gangue mineral rather than carrying the valuable concentrate significantly changes the operational requirements of the column...
Today column flotation has become an accepted means of froth flotation for a fairly broad range of applications, in particular the cleaning of sulfides copper, zinc, lead and molybdenite and the flotation of iron ore, phosphate and coal Flotation columns differ dramatically from mechanical flotation machines in several ways...
In the reverse flotation of iron ores, froth washing was found effective in reducing the loss of FINE iron oxide particles to froth It was reported that the cost of installing a column flotation circuit is approximately 25 - 40 less than an equivalent flotation circuit of mechanical flotation cells 60...
Eriez has more than 900 Column Cells operating worldwide The Eriez Flotation Division has supplied more than 900 flotation columns throughput the world in mineral concentrating and purification 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...
EFD is the world leader in column flotation technology with over 900 installations Columns are used for floating well-liberated or Typically they produce higher grade and have lower power costs than conventional cells...
The processes of iron ore flotation being either by means of mechanical cells or columns, are fed by parti- cles whose sizes vary 10 and 150 181 m, the ultrafine parti- cles slimes are removed by means of cyclone, for they affect the process in a negative way, and the top size is ,...
The relevant responses in iron ore reverse cationic flotation are silica grade and iron recovery in the valuable product The flotation performance may be controlled via the dosages of amine collector and starch depressant Low amine dosages are desirable for this reagent is the most expensive...
