Working principle

What Is The Working Principle Of The Flotation Machine

Flotation machines separate target minerals from gangue through mechanical agitation, self-aspirating aeration, and selective bubble attachment. The Baichy SF/XJK series uses a self-aspirating impeller design with the following six-stage process:

Stage 1: Reagent Conditioning Pulp enters the cell at 25–35% solids concentration.Collectors (xanthates, 50–200 g/t), frothers (pine oil or MIBC, 20–80 g/t), and pH modifiers (lime or soda ash) premix in the feed pipe, making target minerals hydrophobic.

Stage 2: Bubble Generation The bottom impeller rotates at 238–400 r/min, creating negative pressure that draws air through the central pipe at 0.5–1.5 m³/(m²·min). The impeller-stator shear disperses air into 0.5–2.5 mm bubbles—the optimal range for sulfide flotation.

Stage 3: Particle-Bubble Attachment Hydrophobic particles (chalcopyrite, auriferous pyrite, galena, sphalerite) collide with and attach to rising bubbles in the turbulent mixing zone. Optimal particle size: 10–100 μm; contact angle: >60°.

Stage 4: Froth Formation Mineral-laden bubbles rise into the quiescent zone, forming a froth layer 50–150 mm thick. An automatic level control maintains depth at ±5 mm precision. Over-thin froth lowers grade; over-thick reduces recovery.

Stage 5: Concentrate Collection Rotating skimmers (SF: 1.1–1.5 kW; XJK: 17.5–26 rpm) sweep the mineralized froth into the launder. Concentrate (30–40% solids) flows by gravity to thickening and pressure filtration, reaching 8–12% final moisture.

Stage 6: Tailings & Recirculation Hydrophilic gangue (quartz, calcite, feldspar) sinks and exits through the tailings port. In multi-cell banks, cleaner tailings recirculate to scavenger cells, boosting overall recovery from 85% to 92%+ — a core economic design feature.
