Simulation 10 In order to evaluate the new TC-300 in comparison with the OK- 160, the novel scale-up approach was applied for simulating a 8 η=0,83 (TC-300) rougher flotation circuit consisting of eight OK-160 cells …
ادامه مطلبAmong these variables, flotation cell size and its impact on solids entrainment and froth transport have become increasingly important. In this context, Leiva et al. (2012) and Rojas et al. (2014) studied the froth transport in a two-dimensional cell operating with an air-water system.
ادامه مطلبThe flotation chemistry is the same for both flash flotation and standard flotation, but the hydrodynamics and froth phase are quite different (Jameson, 1984, Yoon, 2000, Tsatouhas et al., 2006, Arellano-Piña et al., 2017). Although, in a flash cell, it is commonly accepted that coarse particles float, it should be considered that, by removing ...
