Mechanical flotation cells can be broken down into two broad categories based on how air is introduced to the cell. In a self aspirated flotation cell air is introduced to the slurry, the vacuum created by the rotorusing . In a forced air flotation cell air is generated external to the cell by a low pressure blower,, and pumped down the

3.7.1. Entrainment theory and empirical correlations. There are two mechanisms of entrainment observed in flotation column. First, one is due to the introduction of feed water which contains suspended solid particle, swept into the froth and second is due to entrapment of fine particle (gangue) in rising bubble [ 6 ].
Flotation process within a column. Typically, columns are suitable for ores with a particle size bellow 150 µm. Larger particles tend to be too heavy to be kept in suspension. This size limit may vary …
