Flotation
The Inspiration Copper Co. uses flotation as the prime process, and its 800 tons per section is treated by 24 roughing-cells and 4 cleaners. In this case the cells are run in series, the primary cells treating the original feed and the secondary cells re-treating only the slime from the primary tailing after the sand has been removed.

Gas Dispersion Measurements in Coal Flotation Cells
flotation cells operate in the range between 0.5cm/s and 1.0cm/s. The distribution of superficial gas velocities for columns show two distinct operating ranges — between 1.0cm/s and 1.5cm/sec and between 2.0cm/s and 2.5cm/s. The distribution of bubble size (Figure 6) shows that the majority of mechanical flotation cells operate
