Flotation Concentrator

Description of Flotation-cell

Flotation-cell, which plays a vital role in flotation separation process, is undoubtedly the most important and versatile mineral processing technique and its application is being expanded to treat greater tonnages and to cover new areas. In flotation plant, the mineral is usually transferred to the froth, or float fraction, leaving the gangue in the pulp or tailing. Flotation cells are subject to coarse separation, swept separation, fine separation and floatation, so the useful ore are reclaimed.

Cell Flotation Operational Principles

Flotation cell machine has the advantages of large air-absorption capacity and low energy consumption. Every cell owns three functions: air absorption, slurry absorption, and floatation separation, and the cells form a floatation separation loop by itself without any auxiliary equipment, and is allocated horizontally, which favors the change of flow.

The circulation of mineral slurry is reasonable, and can avoid the disposition of coarse sand to the largest extent. There is self-control device on the surface of mineral slurry, so it is easy to adjust it. The impeller has backward-inclined upper and lower vanes, which produce upper and lower circulation of mineral slurry respectively.

The impeller is driven by V-belts, which can bring the centrifugal effect to form negative pressure. While extracting sufficient air to mix with ore pulp, the machine stirs ore pulp and mixes it with chemicals to form mineralized froth. By adjusting the height of the flash board to control the liquid level, the useful froth can be scraped from the loam board.

Characteristics of HX Flotation Concentrator

(1)The suction capacity is large and power dissipation is low.

(2)Every tank is equipped with three functions, i.e. air suction, slurry suction and flotation. Flotation circuit is formed automatically and no auxiliary equipment is needed. It is installed horizontally, making it easy for process changes.

(3)The circulation of slurry is reasonable and can reduce sedimentation of coarse sand to the largest extent.

(4)It is equipped with automatic control device and electric control devices, easy for adjustment.
