Over the past few decades, the need to process more minerals while lowering capital costs has led to an increase in the size of flotation cells, e.g., 0.03 m3 to 1000 m3. However, this increase has created new challenges in the operation and design of industrial flotation cells, particularly in terms of froth removal, because the distance the …

Abstract. Previous research has shown that dosing polymers directly to the saturator of a dissolved air flotation (DAF) process in replacement of upstream coagulation can achieve algae removal comparable to that of conventional treatment, as a result of bubble modification. In this paper we further explore the application of polyDADMAC as a ...

Modifiers. Interaction between mineral and collector should take place to run the froth flotation. Modifiers change the characteristics of a mineral and insist it attaches with the collector. Example: lime and soda ash (pH modifier), phosphates and silicates (anionic modifier), Starch and dextrin (cationic modifier). Depressants
