What Are Column Flotation Cells?

Recent column flotation cell projects. In 2018, Industrial Resources Inc. fabricated eight, 18'-0" diameter column cells by 26'-6" tall complete with launders, each cell had a vertical field weld seam and two horizontal flanged connections, with six sections per each cell. These cells contain 18" diameter rolled slurry pipes around ...

Flotation

How the data is used to determine flotation kinetics is a subject of a separate video. The key aspects are: the types and setup of the laboratory cell; sample to be tested, test conditions and; how the test is conducted. The standard laboratory cell and cell size for many decades has been the Denver D12 with 2.5 litre stainless steel cell.
