Types of flotation Mark II

CLASSIFICATION OF TYPES OF FLOTATION Mark II

Autor of classification is Ph.D. Natalia Petrovskaya

Froth flotation

• • Induced gas flotation: Self-aerated flotation and Forced aeration flotation

  • Foam separation (Froth separation)

  • Flotation by dissolved air:

    • Electroflotation (EF, EFM, Electrolytic flotation)

    • Flotation by variable pressure (Vacuum flotation and Pressure flotation (Dissolved air flotation (DAF)))

    • Flotation by bubbles produced when boiling water

• Flotation by bubbles produced when fall water

  • Flotation by bubbles produced by the chemical reaction:

  • Chemical flotation

  • Biochemical flotation

Film flotation

Flotation of ions and molecules:

• • Ionic flotation (Ion flotation, Flotation of ions)

  • Molecular flotation (Molecule flotation, Flotation of molecules)

Floc flotation (Flotation of flocs (floc-flotation):

• • Floc flotation (float agglomeration)

  • Aeroflocs flotation (aerated flocs)

Oil flotation

• Direct oil flotation

• Reverse oil flotation

Carrier flotation

• Carrier flotation

  • Self carrier flotation (Autogenous carrier flotation (ACF))

Combined flotation

• • Floto-gravity (Flotogravity, flotation by vibratory masses)

• Floto-clasification (Flotoclassification)

• Floto-jigging (Flotojigging)

• Flotation / Sedimentation

• Flotation / Dehydration

• Flotation / Filtration

• Shear-flocculation/flotation

• Foam fractionation

  • Flotation / Magnetic separation (Murex method)

• Agglomeration-floatation

• Flotation / Dense media separation

Others :

Precipitate flotation, Ion-precipitate flotation, Biological flotation, Colloidal flotation, Adsorption colloidal flotation (ACF), Flotation of microorganisms by colloidal gas aphrons (CGAs), Microflotation, Ultraflotation (or piggyback flotation
