Flotation machines
In mineral processing plant , Flotation machines are designed to ensure flow of the pulp into good, active contact of particles with bubbles and levitation of mineral-laden air bubbles to the top of the cell, allowing entrapped particles to be removed. In addition, some laboratory machines are also designed to allow study of the physicochemical principles involved in flotation subprocesses. Different attempts to meet these requirements have resulted in many designs. Essentially, flotation machines for production are divided into two types depending on the mechanisms by which air is introduced into the cell. Many variations of these types are seen, allowingdifferent intensity of agitation and different flow patterns in equipment with a variety of sizes and shapes. The two main types are pneumatic and mechanical machines. In pneumatic machines, air entering the turbulent pulp is dispersed into bubbles by baffles or perforated bases, ensuring maximum opportunity for contact with the m...
