Column Flotation Cell

We are involved in the Manufacturing and Supplying of Column Flotation Cell in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. It work on the same basic principle as mechanical flotation cells a mineral separation takes place in an agitated and/or aerated water mineral slurry where the surfaces of selected minerals are made hydrophobic (water-repellent) by conditioning with selective flotation reagents. However, in column flotation, there is no mechanical mechanism causing agitation. As well, separation takes place in a vessel (known as a column) that is much taller than the width (or cross-section) of the cell. Air is introduced into the slurry in the column through spargers, which create a countercurrent flow of air bubbles.

Compared to traditional mechanical cells, column flotation is slower, but it allows for improved kinetics.

Column flotation offers many advantages including:

* Improved metallurgical performance
* Improved control
* Less energy consumption
* Reduced plant footprint
* Reduced capital requirement
