Flotation of coarse coal particles in the Reflux™ Flotation Cell
This paper reports on an investigation of coarse coal flotation up to a nominal 2 mm size using the Reflux Flotation Cell (RFC). The first part of the investigation involved the flotation of coal tracer particles added to the system individually, with the RFC operating at a specific hydrodynamic condition defined by the feed and gas fluxes.

Flotation Frothers
Flotation Frothers – Frothing Agents. The next reagent that is added is the Flotation FROTHER. The frother strengthens the surface tension of the air that is injected into the flotation cell. As the air rises in the shape of bubbles, they come into contact with the mineral laden collector which attaches itself to the air.

Flotation Depressants
Sodium cyanide. Sodium cyanide is mainly used to depress sphalerite in the first or lead-flotation stage in separating lead from zinc minerals. Its action on pyrite is nearly as strong as on sphalerite, but it does not affect galena unless a large excess is added or the contact time is too long. The effect of sodium cyanide is often intensified ...
