Aug 12, 2015 The OVERFLOW is now called the flotation CONCENTRATE of the circuit. The mineral has been separated from the ore, there for it is in a concentrated form from the original. The UNDERFLOW is the pulp. When the pulp has had all the mineral extracted from it that the circuit was able to, and is discharged it is then called the flotation TAILINGS of
Oct 17, 2016 Flotation Circuits for Air-Lift and Pneumatic Cells. An air-lift machine can often be run as a rougher-cleaner cell, as in circuit No. 5 (Fig. 52), by taking a finished concentrate off the first few feet and returning the froth from the rest of the machine to the feed end. This method is also applicable to pneumatic cells, but its use is not
The flotation circuit can be optimized by implementing in-line density meters. These provide real-time density measurement in different applications and can be combined with advanced process control to improve the efficiency of the process.
Cleaner flotation tailings is an intermediate product and is recycled within the flotation circuit. Many ores contain multiple valuable minerals that can be floated into separate concentrates. Examples would include a lead-zinc ore, in which the lead and zinc minerals are
