There are more than 20 types of mineral flotation. Universal separation method, because by using flotation can be separated almost all minerals. It is used for all types of ores and minerals (chalcopyrite, molybdenite, galena, sphalerite, gold, talc, mica, carbon, rare earth mineral, uranium minerals, and others).

and Ph.D. Natalia Petrovskaya

The model allowing to describe correctly kinetics and speed of flotation of raw mineral material of any kind are proposed. The model take into account delay in extraction of a component in concentrate, upper limit of component’s extraction, inclination of e(t) parameter* and can be considered as universal analytical tool for investigation of kinetics and speed of flotation. It is recommended to use the model for optimization of technological schemes and algorithms of control of flotation.

CLASSIFICATION OF FLOTATION MACHINES

The author of classification is Ph.D. Natalia PetrovskayaFlotation machines are classified by mode of aeration and mixing (shake) pulp, and are subdivided into the following categories: Mechanical flotation machines

Pneumatic flotation machines

Flotation machines with variable pressure:

■ Flotation machines special applications

  • Electric flotation cells

  • Airlift machine

  • Pneumohydraulic machines

  • Open gutters

■ Combined flotation machines

  • Flotation classifier

■ Laboratory flotation machines

Hydrophobizators or collectors, promoters

Frothers

Modifiers:

Modifiers of the medium:

  • pH regulators (pH modifiers, pH control agents)

  • Eh regulators (Eh modifiers; Redox potential (Eh) regulators, Eh control agents)

  • Regulators of the ionic composition of the pulp

Surface modifiers:

  • Activators

  • Depressants

  • Conditioners

Modifiers of particular purpose
