no flotation can occur. Contact between particles and bubbles can be accomplished in a flotation cell such as the one shown schematically in Figure 5. Figure 5 Simplified schematic of a conventional flotation cell. The rotor draws slurry through the stator and expels it to the sides, creating a suction that draws air down the shaft of the stator.

Combining the benefits of circular cells with the unique features of the patented DV mechanism, the RCS Reactor Cell System flotation technology has been developed to create ideal conditions to maximize flotation performance for all roughing, cleaning and scavenging duties. The cell can be modified to handle high density slurries.
The effect of impeller speed on the air flow in a selfaerated Denver laboratory flotation cell was investigated using computational modelling. Air is induced into the slurry by the impellers rotating action. The rate of air flow is determined by the suction pressure created by the impeller, the hydrostatic head of the slurry and the frictional losses along the delivery shaft from the inlet ...
cells and details of this design will be discussed later in this article. The top section of the disc connects to a drive shaft which in turn connects to the pulleygear-motor drive assembly. The impeller is located in the centre of the cell cross-section with its IIFLOTATIONFlotation Cell Design Application of Fundamental Principles 1505
AND FLOTATION CELLS The pulp suspension is pumped through the multi-injectors into the flotation cells. These newly de-veloped multi-injectors of the next generation mini-mize the pressure drop in the injector, hence reducing the energy demand. Inside the patented injectors, the pressure energy is used to suck air into the feed stock.

The development and implementation of larger flotation cells has proceeded very fast. In a period of just 30 years of time, the cell size has increased from below 100 m3 to over 600 m3. Figure 1 depicts the size of flotation cells over time. Figure 1. Flotation cell size
Flotation A modified Hallimond cell with automatic control of flotation time and stirring intensity and time, was used for all flotation experiments. The flota-tion procedure consisted of desliming 0.8 gram of a sample till free of visible fines and transferring it to a cylinder to
Flotation is a difficult process to run efficiently. One way to make flotation performance better is to improve cell level control. However, controlling pulp levels in flotation cells is a complex control task because of strong interactions between the levels in flotation cells. Therefore advanced controllers are needed to give good level control.
Almost all successful models of the flotation process have been based on the premise that flotation is a kinetic process. In this way a model can be formulated in terms of a rate of flotation which can be quantified in terms of some of the many chemical and physical factors that define the environment inside a flotation cell.

The largest flotation cells presently used in industrial flotation operation are 130, 160 and 250 m3. Figure 1 shows the main characteristics of a self-aerated cell, where the feed pulp circulates upwards through a draft tube by the rotor. Also, the air is self-aspirated from the upper part of the cell by the rotor. Figure 1. Large flotation cell
