A flotation machine is a commonly used mineral processing equipment, which is used to separate useful minerals from waste rock. Depending on different
working principles and structural characteristics, flotation machines can be classified into various types, including mechanical agitation flotation machines, gas
dispersion flotation machines, centrifugal flotation machines, and air flotation machines.
Mechanical agitation flotation machine: This is the most common type of flotation machine. It mixes the pulp and bubbles thoroughly through a mechanical
agitation device. The mechanical agitation flotation machine is suitable for processing ores with medium and small particle sizes and has the characteristics of
simple operation and strong adaptability.
Gas dispersion flotation machine: This flotation machine uses a gas dispersion device to evenly disperse gas into the pulp, forming tiny bubbles. The gas
dispersion flotation machine is suitable for processing fine-grained ores and can provide higher bubble concentration and better flotation results.
Centrifugal flotation machine: The centrifugal flotation machine utilizes centrifugal force to discharge the mineral slurry from the center of the flotation tank
to the outside. At the same time, the action of centrifugal force separates the bubbles from the mineral particles. The centrifugal flotation machine is suitable
for.
Air flotation separator: The air flotation separator utilizes the buoyancy of gas to separate mineral particles from the suspension. It does not require mechanical
stirring or bubble generation devices; instead, the flotation process is achieved through gas compression and release. The air flotation separator is suitable for
processing fine-grained and high-concentration ores, featuring strong processing capacity and low energy consumption.
The flotation machine is a crucial mineral processing equipment, and it is widely used in various fields, such as metal ore beneficiation, non-metal ore
beneficiation, coal mine beneficiation, rare metal extraction, and environmental restoration.
