Read MoreTo date the performance of more than 20 flotation plants has been predicted, encompassing copper, lead, zinc, nickel, phosphate, pyrite, graphite, cassiterite, platinum and various slags. The method has successfully been used to predict and design four flotation plants using data generated from bench-scale laboratory flotation testwork.
Read MoreSulphide ores. 1. Introduction. This paper presents a methodology for characterising an ore's flotation response and linking this to its metallurgical performance in a commercial plant. The methodology incorporates a flotation simulation program "SUPASIM" which translates flotation performance from bench-scale tests to full-scale …

Read MoreIn plants where there is a need for raw water ozonation and flotation, the two processes could be combined with air in the flotation process being replaced by an ozone–air or ozone–oxygen mixture (Boisdon, 1994). High rate flotation processes are finding application as they require smaller footprint.

Read Moreflotation models are linked. For example, a laboratory test conducted on a drill core sample, intended to represent a portion of the orebody, is conducted at a specific grind (represented by a P 80). However, when that ore is actually processed through the plant it may well be (and in many cases most likely will be) at another P 80 ...
