The ultimate goal of a flotation process is to achieve the economically optimum combination of the desired mineral grade and recovery in the final concentrate from a feed of varying composition. The industrial operation of froth flotation faces many challenges, such as sudden decreases in the recovery and grade of recovered materials. ...
The use of power ultrasound in mining. L. Gaete-Garretón, in Power Ultrasonics, 2015 35.5.1 The flotation process. One of the most used processes to concentrate mineral from a mine is flotation. To perform a flotation process the mineral is finely ground (particle sizes between 50 and 150 μm), then the ground mineral is mixed with water in a …
