A three-dimensional diagram has also been developed to visualize the behavior of the desirability function. In this paper, attempts have been made to evaluate the performance of the froth flotation process using response surface methodology.doi:10.1080/07349340590962793...
This invention comprises improvements in or relating to froth flotation concentration processes. In the well known froth flotation process for the concentration of ores a mixture of the material from
FIG. 1 is a schematic flow diagram illustrating the ore beneficiating process embodying the present invention; FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view of a froth flotation column used in the process of FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3--3 of FIG. 2; ...
The proposed beneficiation process includes de-sliming (38µm) of the SLon concentrate and milling of the +38µm material, followed by froth flotation. The new proposed flow diagram showed that the SLon concentrate of this African iron ore can successfully be upgraded....
frother (50 per cent In the accompanying drawing, which illustrates an instance of applying the process of the 35 invention to actual practice, the single figure is a flow diagram representing a flotation plant using the novel process of the invention. Referring to the drawing, the numeral 10...
FIG. 1 is a process flow diagram of a two stage froth separation unit, with recirculation lines in bold, according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a process flow diagram of a pump and valve arrangement that may be used with embodiments of the present invention. ...
variable and likely incorporate a range of mineral types and abundance. Mineralogical features from froth may be used to confirm the hyperspectral features and to relate froth features to flotation process kinetics. Such information may be valuable for process control....
Discloses apparatus to perform a process to remove water and minerals from a bitumen froth output of a oil sands hot water extraction process. A bitumen froth feed stream is diluted
that are held in suspension and form the gel-like sludge. Since such sludge inhibits the flotation of the bitumen froth in the extraction process, lower grade tar sands containing large amounts of expanding clays cannot be treated satisfactorily using the conventional water caustic soda process. ...
in the case of flotation, wettability is the main separation property, as hydrophobic particles attach to gas bubbles and are recovered via a froth phase, while hydrophilic particles remain in suspension; other particle properties, such as size, shape, or liberation, also affect the process signifi...
