Fig. 3 shows the Cu grade of the bubble load and at the TOF in first rougher cells of six rougher banks from Plant B, for different size classes. Again, it was found that the Cu grades of bubble load were similar to the grade at TOF. Nevertheless a slight bias (froth selectivity) was observed mainly for the three coarser classes, with a higher Cu …

Modelling and simulation of rougher flotation circuits ... Effect of feed tonnage The feed tonnage is relatively constant in the rougher flotation SAG plant because the four rougher banks are fed by two SAG mills, reducing the variations in the feed flow rate. An increase in feed tonnage from 600 to 800 tph was analysed. Again, the following ...
Two rougher flotation banks consisting of cells of 130 m3 and 300 m3, were evaluated. All the samples from the industrial surveys were analysed by screening and mineralogy, and the mineral ...
By extending the description to multiple cells and flotation banks, FrothSim is able to predict realistically the behaviour of complete flotation plants. The example simulations shown have demonstrated the ability of the FrothSim simulator to mimic realistically the …
Copper Rougher Flotation. ... In large installations, however, these steps are usually carried out in separate banks of cells. The scavenger flotation circuit consists of a 4-cell, "Sub-A" Super Rougher Flotation Machine with its super aeration. The concentrate from scavenger cells is returned to the head of the rougher cells and tails …
Cu grades at the top of the froth (TOF) were compared to the froth depth (h F) profiles and froth discharge velocity profiles along rougher flotation circuits. Measurements were performed in two self-aspirated flotation banks, one consisting of nine 130 m 3 cells (1-2-2-2-2 arrangement), and the other one of six 250 m 3 cells (1-1-1-1-1-1 ...
Process for flotation audit and bottleneck identification explained. Menu Close About us. About us main in brief. ... An example of a sampling program to establish the down-the-bank mass balance for a rougher flotation line is illustrated in Figure 1. Remes (2016a) presented the mass balancing procedure in Minerva 2/2016.
A modal examination of the products produced by the copper flotation rougher-scavenger circuit reveal important information regarding the limits to the efficiency of the process, imposed by mineralogy, fragmentation and flotation capacity. Let's discusses various aspects of rougher flotation circuit performance and how to evaluate …
Cumulative recovery vs. grade curves of a rougher flotation bank using PAX (red) and SC (blue) as collectors. The use of SC improved the recovery of composite …
Classic Basic Flotation Circuit. Let's, proceed to Basic Flotation CIRCUIT DESIGN. To understand flotation it is necessary to learn some new terminology. To do this let's look at a simple schematic of the circuit we were just working with. Let's start with the CLASSIFIER OVERFLOW, once the classifier is finished with it enters the ...
Flotation Circuits. Flotation circuits are typically comprised of rougher, scavenger and cleaner flotation banks. Rougher and scavenger banks are focused on recovery and thus provide maximum residence time. Rougher banks can be large with the number of cells being 5 or greater. Scavenger cells are the last line of defense for avoiding losses.
It is not unusual to grind the rougher flotation concentrate to minus 200-mesh for more complete liberation of mineral from the gangue. COPPER FLOTATION CIRCUIT. The cyclone overflow from each ball mill goes to a Pulp Distributor which distributes the pulp to two or more parallel banks of Flotation Cells. These distributors …

Rougher flotation, composed of unit processes operating at a fast time scale and economic performance measurements known as operational indices measured at a slower time scale, is very basic and the first concentration stage for flotation plants. Optimizing operational process for rougher flotation circuits is extremely important due to high …
Recovery is one of the most important metallurgical parameters in designing and evaluating flotation circuits. The present study used the recovery arrangement for two and three stage circuits to evaluate the effect of stage recovery on the overall circuit recovery and flotation circuit configuration.
