Rougher flotation, composed of unit processes operating at a fast time scale and economic performance measurements known as operational indices measured at a slower time scale, is very basic and the first concentration stage for flotation plants. Optimizing operational process for rougher flotation circuits is extremely important due to high …
Before the actual flotation process, the mineral particles reach the stirred tank (conditioner) and mix with water and reagents that make the valuable minerals within the flotation paste hydrophobic. When air bubbles are introduced into the pulp, hydrophobic mineral particles join and rise to the surface of the water, forming .
the remainder of pulp in the tank results in recirculating fluid patterns, keeping particles in suspension without the need for mechanical agitation. In the froth zone, gangue …
**Rougher Flotation**: - **Role**: The rougher flotation stage is the first step in the flotation process. Its primary purpose is to separate the initial feed into two …

Agitation tank for chemical reagent adopts barrel shaped radiation circular spiral impeller for mixing operation by the mechanical stirring method. The motor drives the V- belt transmission device which drives the impeller. Reagents mix evenly under the rotation of the impeller preparing for the next step that mixes the ore slurry and reagents.
This flotation flowsheet appeared to allow feed grades lower than the previously determined benchmark of 0.8 wt pct Co. Extended Rougher Tests. Extended roughing tests were run to optimize the initial flotation step in order to maximize cobalt grade. These were continuous tests, run around the clock, usually of 3 days to 1 week in …
