Flotation performance can significantly be affected by seasonal variations due to the changes in water temperature and pulp temperature, type and concentration of dissolved ions in process water. Extreme temperature conditions could be the major factor affecting flotation performance and mask the influence of water chemistry. Therefore, …
In the conventional flotation cell, the detachment of particles from the bubbles due to turbulence is the main reason for the decline in the coarse particle recovery (De et al., 2007, Fuerstenau et al., 2007).However, turbulence is imperative in the flotation cell to bring about bubble particle collision, keep particles in suspension, and disperse …
