Flotation Machine
Capacity: 0.5–300 m³/cell
Feeding Size: ≤0.3 mm
Discharging Size: 0.01-0.1 mm
Handling Materials: Copper, zinc, lead, nickel and gold, metals and nonmetals, etc.
Flotation machine separates valuable ores (e.g., copper, gold) from gangue using air bubbles and chemicals, handling 0.5-300m³/cell. Ideal for 0.01-0.3mm particles, it achieves 85-95% recovery via adjustable aeration and reagent dosing. Requires slurry density of 25-45% solids for optimal performance.
Advantages
01.
High Selectivity
Targets specific minerals (sulfides) via reagent customization, achieving 85-95% recovery with precise bubble-particle adhesion control.
02.
Scalable Capacity
Modular cells (0.5-300m³ each) enable flexible layouts for 10-10,000t/d plants through series/parallel connections.
03.
Fine Processing
Handles 0.01-0.3mm particles effectively, outperforming gravity/magnetic methods in liberating finely disseminated ores.
04.
Real-Time Control
Automated aeration (0.5-2m³/min·m²) and froth depth adjustments optimize grade/recovery dynamically during operation.
How Does A Flotation Machine Work?
1. Slurry Conditioning: Ore pulp (25-45% solids, 0.01-0.3mm) mixes with reagents (collectors/frothers) to render target minerals hydrophobic.
2. Bubble Generation: Mechanical impellers or external aerators create air bubbles (0.5-2mm diameter), which collide with hydrophobic particles.
3. Mineral Attachment: Hydrophobic particles bond to bubbles, forming stable froth, while hydrophilic gangue sinks (Newtonian separation principle).
4. Product Separation: Froth (concentrate) overflows weirs; tailings discharge from the bottom. Adjustable impeller speed (200-400 RPM) and air rate optimize recovery.
