GETTING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR BUBBLES WITH GOOD CLEANER CIRCUIT DESIGN USING THE JAMESON CELL

摘要

Small bubbles are one of the key drivers of good flotation performance through improving reaction kinetics. In addition to having small bubbles, it's important to have high collision and attachment efficiency as well as high froth recovery. The Jameson Cell combines these features with its small footprint, efficient froth washing and low maintenance. Cleaner circuit design is now better utilizing the unique features of the Jameson Cell to improve cleaner circuit performance. There are several examples given of how the Jameson Cell can significantly improve project economics and plant simplicity. Hybrid cleaner circuits represent a significant opportunity to improve metallurgical performance, reduce plant footprint and simplify plant flowsheets and operations.
