Flotation is an important technology in mineral processing, and flotation equipment are common chosed according to different mineral process. Usually, flotation machine is applicable for the separation of nonferrous metal and ferrous metal and nonmetal, such as fluorite and talc. Flotation process also called flotation separation, which is a method of separation widely used in the wastewater treatment and mineral processing industries.

Flotation Equipment

As for separate different mineral, there are many types of flotation equipment can be chosed, the most used equipment are API oil-water separator, depth filter, belt filter, centrifuge, electrostatic precipitator, evaporator, filter press , protein skimmer, scrubber, spinning cone, fractionating column, mixer-settler, rotary vacuum-drum filter, sublimation apparatus and so on.

Mineral ore flotation equipment is applicable for separating non-ferrous metal, black metal, noble metal, non-metal mineral, raw body and materials of chemical industry, which are subject to coarse separation, swept separation and flotation, so the useful ore are reclaimed.

Liming Heavy Industry floatation machine has the advantages of large air-absorption capacity and low energy consumption. Every cell owns three functions: air absorption, slurry absorption, and floatation separation, and the cells form a floatation separation loop by itself without any auxiliary equipment, and is allocated horizontally, which favors the change of flow. The circulation of mineral slurry is reasonable, and can avoid the disposition of coarse sand to the largest extent. Floatation machine also has self-control device on the surface of mineral slurry make it easy to adjust. The impeller has backward-inclined upper and lower vanes, which produce upper and lower circulation of mineral slurry respectively.

Flotation Processing Technology

We has mentioned in above, flotation machine are popular for applications amongst the separation of ferrous and non ferrous metal for example fluorite and talc. It has an impeller which will create centrifugal forces in the form of negative pressure. In modern industry, floatation separator is widely used in chemical, construct, metallurgy, machine making, feed processing, environmental protection and ceramics.

Flotation Process that widely used by mineral ore processing industry are followings: absorption, acid-base extraction, crystallization, cyclonic separation, chromatography, cross-flow filtration, dialysis, flocculation, froth flotation, gravity separation, dissolved air flotation, distillation, drying, recrystallization, reverse osmosis, sedimentation, leaching, loiquid-liquid extraction, microfiltration, osmosis, precipitation (chemistry), solid phase extraction, sublimation, yultrafiltration and so on.
