How to maximize ore and grade recovery through flotation

Optimal mineral recovery in a flotation circuit depends on the capacity to adapt to metallurgical variability in the ore being processed. It is possible that some banks of flotation cells might not be recovering ore at their maximum levels due to air flow, feed, mechanical, hydraulic, reagent imbalances. Recognizing the need for a solution that ...

Designing flotation circuits for high fines recovery

The project predicted 5% higher zinc recovery (and no extra concentrate grade) due to extra liberation. Fig. 7 shows this was achieved instantly. The surprise was the "second wave" of a further 5% zinc recovery increase and the 2% increase in zinc concentrate grade. This was because fines flotation improved after grinding finer.
