laboratory Flotation machine is a kind of mechanical equipment for mineral processing, its main function is to separate valuable minerals from ore through the physical-chemical interaction of air bubbles and waste ore.
The flotation equipment uses the characteristics of air bubbles to separate valuable substances from other wastes, so as to achieve the purpose of separating minerals.
The working principle of the flotation cell machine can be briefly summarized as follows: add a proper amount of reagent and air into the flotation cell, make the reagent adsorb on the surface of the waste ore and generate bubbles, make the bubbles contact with the waste ore particles and adhere to its surface, making it become have to float. As the air bubbles rise to the surface, they bring minerals to the surface of the flotation cell, where they are removed from the flotation cell by scrapers of froth flotation machine
Specifically, the working principle of the flotation machine includes the following links:
1. Pre-treatment: before the flotation cell, the ore is crushed to make it reach a suitable particle size range.
2. Test solution treatment: add chemical reagents to the flotation machine tank to change the surface properties of ore, so that the flotation can be carried out.
3. Gasification: By gasifying the air in the flotation cell, the air is converted into fine bubbles.
4. Adsorption: Adsorption between the air bubbles and the mineral surface.
5. Separation: Wash away unnecessary substances, thereby realizing the separation of valuable minerals and waste.
6. Collection: Collect valuable minerals and make them into materials that can be used in industrial production.
In general, the working principle of the flotation machine is to use the interaction between the air bubbles and the mineral surface, and to realize the separation of valuable substances and wastes by adjusting the amount of reagents and gases added and the stirring method, and extract them from the ore. useful substance. It is one of the most commonly used methods in the field of mineral separation, and is widely used in the beneficiation of metal ore and non-metal ore.
