The upper vertical section had a height of about 1.6 m and the inclined channels were nominally 1.0 m long, with a 20 mm spacing and an inclination of 70° to the horizontal. As discussed, the feed slurry entered through an air sparger ...
به خواندن ادامه دهیدFlotation is an extremely size sensitive process and because the RC drilling process imparts a lot of energy into the sample, the resulting fine particle size distribution is likely to be much finer than required. Also, the detergents used in RC drilling will very often react unfavorably in the flotation cell with other reagents.

For example, a sulfide ore might float very well at 90 to 120 microns, but not at 50 or 150 microns. The research to date has identified two main reasons for the upper limit on floatable particle sizes.
