OEM Laboratory Froth Flotation Machine Small Scale Lab Flotation Cell

Small scale laboratory flotation cell for mineral processing testing

1.Product Introduction Ore Beneficiation Equipment

The Small-Scale Laboratory Flotation Cell is a benchtop mineral processing unit designed for high-precision flotation testing. It simulates industrial flotation circuits on a laboratory scale to facilitate mineral separation experiments. The core structure includes a flotation tank (cell), an impeller, an aeration system, and a froth collection device. It supports both manual and automated control of parameters such as pulp level and aeration rate. This equipment is essential for flotation testing of metallic ores (e.g., gold, copper, molybdenum) and non-metallic minerals. Its compact design and operational flexibility allow for rapid, multi-group experimentation, providing critical data for industrial plant design.

2.Application Ore Beneficiation Equipment

• Mineral Processing R&D: Optimizing flotation flowsheets for new ore types and testing the impact of different reagents and aeration rates on recovery.

• Education & Training: Used by universities and research institutes for experimental teaching, helping students understand flotation principles and operational procedures.

• Industrial Pilot Testing: Simulating industrial production conditions to verify the effects of parameters like pulp level and bubble density on concentrate grade.

• Environmental & Resource Recovery: Testing the effectiveness of flotation in tailings scavenging and wastewater treatment scenarios to mitigate environmental impact.

3.Working Principle Ore Beneficiation Equipment

1. Agitation & Aeration: The high-speed rotation of the impeller mixes the mineral slurry with air to generate bubbles ranging from 30–100 μm, which then attach to the mineral surfaces.

2. Separation Process: Hydrophobic minerals (e.g., chalcopyrite) attach to the bubbles and rise to form a stable froth layer, while hydrophilic gangue (e.g., quartz) settles at the bottom of the cell.

3. Froth Collection: By regulating the pulp level (e.g., 1200 ± 20 mm) and aeration rate, the froth layer thickness is controlled, and the mineralized froth is scraped off to obtain the concentrate.

4. Parameter Control: Precise manual or automatic adjustment of impeller speed, aeration pressure, and reagent dosage allows for the optimization of flotation efficiency.

4.Advantages Ore Beneficiation Equipment

• Compact & User-Friendly: Designed for laboratory environments with no need for heavy industrial infrastructure; results in significantly shorter experimental cycles.

• High Controllability: Enables precise regulation of pulp levels, aeration rates, and reagent concentrations for rigorous variable-controlled experiments.

• Cost-Efficient & Productive: Low initial investment compared to industrial equipment, making it ideal for small-batch testing and process optimization.

• Reliable Data Output: Accurately simulates industrial conditions, ensuring that experimental results can directly guide large-scale production.

• Safety & Environmental Protection: The enclosed structure reduces reagent leakage and supports tailings recovery, lowering the risk of environmental contamination.
