The Jameson Cell is a high intensity flotation cell in which pulp and air are brought together in a co-current descending flow in a vertical tube called the downcomer. The pulp is introduced into the downcomer through a slurry lens orifice to produce a high velocity jet that generates violent mixing and fine bubble size.

Froth flotation and its modeling aspects

Basically, flotation operation can be viewed as a one-input (i.e., feed stream), and two-output (i.e., concentrate and tail stream) system. Typically, for a mechanical flotation cell, the feed slurry enters the cell continuously at the bottom by a gravity flow from a feed column adjacent to the tank, which then gets churned by the rotor-stator mechanism in the holding …

Development and implementation of a new flowsheet for the flotation …

The predominant nickel sulphides are pentlandite and millerite, together with smaller amounts of violarite and heazlewoodite. A significant amount of each of these sulphides occurs as blebs coarser than 100 μm, but the remainder occurs either as fine (40–60 μm) or ultrafine (< 10 μm) grains (Hopf and Head, 1998). Primary grinding ...

The selective flotation of pentlandite from a nickel ore

Bulk flotation An efficient procedure for nickel recovery is to combine copper sulphate to activate pentlandite with guar gum to depress talc. This is the method which has been used for the flotation of nickel ores in industry and which we have termed the "standard bulk float". A selection of results for this ore is given in Table 3.
