What Is a Flotation Cost?

The flotation method refers to the beneficiation process in which solid minerals are floated from the suspension (slurry) of water according to the differences in physical and chemical properties of the mineral surface. Flotation has been widely used in the beneficiation industry, and it is most suitable for sorting low-grade and fine-grained impregnated ore. ^[1]

Flotation is a beneficiation method that uses the difference in the physical and chemical properties of the mineral surface to sort minerals. Widely used in industry is

Flotation is mainly based on liquid

There are many types of flotation agents, which can be divided into the following types according to their different functions.

There are many types of flotation methods. Commonly used flotation methods include pressure flotation, aerated flotation, vacuum flotation, electrolytic flotation and biological flotation.

(A) pressure flotation

Pressure flotation is widely used in China. Almost all petroleum refineries use this method to treat emulsified oil in wastewater and obtain better treatment results. Oil content in effluent can reach 10mg / L 25mg / L.

Its operating principle: in the case of pressurization, air is passed in

advantage:

1. Suitable for processing low-grade and finely embedded ore;

2. It is suitable for the processing of multi-metal symbiosis complex ore, which can be separately recovered and enriched with multiple products;

3. It can further process the coarse concentrate, middle ore or tailings obtained by other beneficiation methods;

4. Wide application range and high sorting efficiency

Disadvantages: Consumption of chemicals, fine grinding, high cost, and flotation agents easily cause environmental pollution ^[4]
