The JKMRC High Bubble Surface Area Flux Flotation Cell

The High Bubble Surface Area Flux Flotation Cell (HSbFC) is a 16-litre mech anical flotation cell with a bottom driven impeller, which is operated cont inuously. Bubble formation is carried out using an in-line mixer which enab les the cell to achieve superficial gas velocities (J(g)) equivalent to tho se generated in industrial flotation cells (0.7-1.2 cm/s). At the same time , the cell produces considerably smaller bubble sizes, consequently, a high bubble surface area flux (Sb) Can be generated. (C) 1999 Published by Else vier Science Ltd.
