Flotation Machines
The most rapidly growing class of flotation machine is the column machine, which is, as its name implies, a vessel having a large height-to-diameter ratio (from 5 to 20) in contrast to mechanical cells. This type of machine provides a counter-current flow of air bubbles and slurry with a long contact time and plenty of wash water.

Modelling for froth flotation control: A review
This control algorithm was based on maximising the air recovery – a measurement of froth stability – which was developed and validated in a flotation tank at laboratory scale. Air recovery is defined as the fraction of air entering a flotation cell that overflow as unburst bubbles (Neethling and Cilliers, 2008).

SELECTION OF MECHANICAL FLOTATION EQUIPMENT
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

Bubble size distribution in a laboratory-scale
The performance of electroflotation (EF) is strongly influenced by the size of O2 and H2 bubbles. Therefore, in this study, the bubble sizes are measured in a lab-scale EF cell using a high-speed camera. The mean bubble size is found to vary in the range of 32.7–68.6 μm under different operating conditions. This study shows that the electrode …

A froth flotation cell consists typically of a collection zone (or pulp zone) located below the feed particle point, and a cleaning zone, (or froth zone), above the particle feed point [26] (Figure 2). The collection zone is fed back-stream by the pulp pushed by the bubble swarm created by a gas sparger at the bottom of the flotation cell.
