The influence of flotation variables (Fig. 1) in varying degrees, and their interactions – on the one side, and distinct tendency of plant operators for achieving the process stability and products quality – on the other side, are conflicted in the domain of process control.Therefore, the control of such a process is highly specific and very …
It is common in industry for operators to control and regulate a flotation plant by visual inspection of the froth surface. Indeed, an understanding of processes occurring within the froth phase is central to understanding the overall behaviour of flotation systems (Glembotskii, 1972, Cutting et al., 1986, McKee, 1991, Mathe et al., 1998).

Traditionally flotation plant design blower selection and control has been based on using an oversized positive displacement blower, or an industrial fan, with any excess air discharged to atmosphere. While easy to select and design, this type of circuit contains inefficiencies especially when it comes to energy consumption. Larger
1. Introduction. The coal preparation plants use gravity and dense medium as well as flotation processes for treating the run-of-mine (ROM) coal. Gravity and dense medium separators are frequently used for upgrading coarse and intermediate coal particles (+0.5 mm), while flotation is the dominant cleaning process for fine size fractions (−0.5 …
no flotation can occur. Contact between particles and bubbles can be accomplished in a flotation cell such as the one shown schematically in Figure 5. Figure 5: Simplified schematic of a conventional flotation cell. The rotor draws slurry through the stator and expels it to the sides, creating a suction that draws air down the shaft of the stator.

Mini flotation pilot plant testing is typically performed for batches of ore concerning either roughing or cleaning. The aim of conducting these tests is to confirm the ore geometallurgical classes (generally lithological types) and flotation conditions based on the relationship between quantitative mineralogical results and beneficiation tests.
The basic approach consists of describing the flotation process by a single zone (pulp) where a first order collection process occurs operating under perfect mixing conditions. Otherwise, the froth separation zone is not considered. Dynamic flotation models developed for control purposes (Casali et al., 2002) or models used in optimizing ...
