Integrated Optimisation of Grinding and Flotation Circuits
Traditionally, comminution and flotation have been surveyed, analysed and optimised separately. This often results in less than optimal outcomes because of the complex interactions between the two processes. Flotation recovery is a strong function of the valuable mineral particle size distribution with lower recovery of ultra-fines due to poor flotation kinetics, optimum recovery for …

Mineral Comminution and Separation Systems
4. Comminution System To achieve the goal of recovering these concentr ates, the raw ore must be reduced to fine size prior to separation. This process is called 'comminution' or 'size reduction'. Generally there are two major objectives for comminution in mineral beneficiation: The first objective of comminution is 'liberation'.

Production of High Copper Concentrates: Comminution and Flotation
CHAPTER 3 Production of high copper concentrates d comminution and fl otation (Johnson et al., 2019) The grade of copper ores is typically too low (0.5% e 2% Cu) for economic direct smelting. Heating and melting the huge quantity of largely worthless rock would require too much energy and too much furnace capacity. For this reason, all ores destined for …

In order to increase the recovery of PGMs by flotation, it is necessary to optimise the liberation of the key minerals in which the platinum group elements (PGEs) are contained which include sulphides, arsenides, tellurides, and ferroalloys among others, while at the same time ensuring the optimal depression of gangue minerals. In order to achieve this, comminution …

Hence, a flotation circuit model of the plant needed to be developed to reflect the upstream comminution changes on the flotation recoveries. This is because p80 and throughput of the comminution circuit is related, i.e., throughput can be increased by increasing p80 of the comminution circuit. However, there is a threshold p80 for flotation ...

In froth flotation, the probability of flotation and hence the rate of flotation is directly determined by three microprocesses: collision, adhesion and detachment (Trahar and Warren, 1976). To obtain an improved understanding of the complete flotation process, it is necessary to analyze these three microprocesses quantitatively.
