Flotation is not only a separation process, but also a widely used beneficiation technology. The flotation process cannot be separated from various flotation reagents.Due to the increasing variety of flotation equipment, the continuous upgrading and large-scale of equipment, the scale and processing capacity of beneficiation production lines are gradually increasing. In addition, the development of flotation production and the application of modern testing technology in flotation theoretical research have made people have a deeper and deeper understanding of many theories.
Advantages of flotation method:
Flotation can not only process non-ferrous metals but also non-metallic minerals and some ferrous metal minerals. It is also a beneficiation method that is widely used and effective in the sorting of fine-grained and fine-grained materials. Due to the fine particle size of the material and the small effect of particle size and density, it cannot be separated by gravity separation, and some minerals with little difference in magnetic or electrical properties are difficult to be separated by magnetic separation or electrical separation, but they can be separated according to their surface properties.
Through chemical and mechanical adjustment, the useful minerals and the useless minerals are separated by flotation. Flotation has higher separation efficiency than other beneficiation methods. It is good and effective for processing fine ores, and solves the problem that it is difficult to recover the useful components in many fine ores. Flotation can also obtain high-quality concentrate with high recovery rate, In addition, it can also select very poor raw ore into high-grade concentrate, expanding the range of good sources of minerals.
Disadvantages of flotation method:
The ore needs to be finely ground. The flotation reagents used are still expensive at present, and are easy to cause environmental pollution or increase purification facilities. Its auxiliary production process (such as concentrate product concentration, filtration and drying, etc.) is more complicated. Therefore, what kind of beneficiation method (flotation, magnetic, heavy or chemical beneficiation method) should be used in practice should be determined according to the nature of the ore and economic factors.
