Hydrodynamics of froth flotation and its effects on fine ...
2021-11-1 · Research has shown that the impeller tip speed generally varies over a range of 5–7 m/s in mechanical flotation cells and can be as high as 9 m/s, being largely dependent on cell type and size (Arbiter, 2000, Deglon et al., 2000, Fallenius, 1987). In a mechanical flotation cell, the impeller acts as the “engine” that imparts energy to the ...
