sensitivity of collectors to slimes. Therefore, for successful flotation, desliming is a necessary pre-request. Following this trend, the classical aim of desliming is removing fines (<37 µm or 400 mesh) from flotation feed. Unfortunately, in desliming, huge amounts of phosphate are lost in the slimes. The losses may lead to a rejection of up to

Flotation experiments were conducted in a Denver type agitated flotation cell at the rougher stage. The experimental results showed that increasing the pH (from 8 to 10) at low agitation rate (1000 rpm) enhanced the recovery from 80.36% to 85.22%, while at high agitation rate (1200 rpm), a slight declination occurred in the recovery.

Following the evolution of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes in the last decade, several investigators have employed numerical simulations to examine various aspects of flotation processes (Guichao et al. 2018). Owing to the substantial computational burden, most of them refer to two-phase (gas–liquid) systems and only a few ...

for sulphide flotation (Cao and Liu, 2006), but the presence of chlorite and talc, which have a natural floatability, lowers the grade of the lead concentrate. An additional 'mica' flotation circuit, upstream of the lead flotation circuit, is used from time to time to reduce the content of these silicate minerals in the feed to lead flotation.

Comparison of flotation and PCR effectiveness using selected flotation solutions. The following flotation solutions were used: Saccharose (C 2 H 22 O 11, specific gravity (sg): 1.26). To 100 ml of redistilled H 2 O, 106 g of saccharose was added and heated to 60°C, mixing constantly on a magnetic stirrer.

2.7. Mathematical optimization: finding minima of functions¶. Authors: Gaël Varoquaux. Mathematical optimization deals with the problem of finding numerically minimums (or maximums or zeros) of a function. In this context, the function is called cost function, or objective function, or energy.. Here, we are interested in using scipy.optimize for black-box optimization: …
