Froth Fltation

This year we decided not to grind as all the successful flotation tests we had done were on our ore passing 8 mesh or 0.0937 screen. When feeding the un ground ore to the flotation plant the problem we are having now is we cannot produce any froth. we have dropped the feed to the flotation tanks and have increased the reagents.

Froth Flotation

In flotation concentration the mineral is usually transferred to the froth or float fraction leaving the gangue in the pulp or . tailing. This is . direct flotation. as opposed to . reverse flotation in which the gangue is separated into the float fraction. Flotation is the most important and versatile mineral processing technique used in
