Interactional effects of bubble size, particle size, and collector dosage on bubble loading in column flotation
The success of flotation operation depends upon the thriving interactions of chemical and physical variables. In this work, the effects of particle size, bubble size, and collector dosage on the bubble loading in a continuous flotation column were investigated. In other words, this work was mainly concerned with the evaluation of the true flotation response to the changes in the operating varia...
متن کاملMulti-fluid model applied to calculate backmixing and mass transfer in bubble columns
For the calculation of reactive flows in bubble columns the local interfacial area is one of the key parameters. In addition backmixing causes a residence time distribution in the gas and liquid phase, thus mixing phenomena have to be considered as well. The three-dimensional, instationary flow fields in bubble columns are numerically calculated using an Euler multi-fluid model. The resulting s...
متن کاملFroth flotation of phosphate rock
The development of froth flotation is traced from its earliest-known use through the discoveries leading to the present knowledge of the science. The factors influencing the flotation of non-sulfide and non-metallic minerals are discussed, and the machines used in commercial flotation operations are described. Experimental work on the flotation beneficiation of phosphate rock is presented as an...
متن کاملDetermination of Bubble Size Distributions in Bubble Columns Using LDA
A new method is developed for the determination of bubble size distributions from experimental laser Doppler anemometry (LDA) data through simultaneous measurement of only two orthogonal velocity components and the intermittent time gaps arising out of bubbles passing through the measurement point. An experimentally verifiable assumption of axisymmetry allowed the calculation of the three-dimen...
متن کاملHarvesting of algae by froth flotation.
A highly efficient froth flotation procedure has been developed for harvesting algae from dilute suspensions. The method does not depend upon the addition of flotants. Harvesting is carried out in a long column containing the feed solution which is aerated from below. A stable column of foam is produced and harvested from a side arm near the top of the column. The cell concentration of the harv...
