(2011) found that increasing depressant dosage on Merensky ore in a laboratory flotation cell resulted in decreased froth stability due to the removal of froth-stabilizing floatable gangue particles. In addition, it was found that at depressant dosages of >300 g/t, naturally floatable gangue in a Merensky ore could be completely ...

One conventional way of measuring characteristics of the froth phase of a flotation cell is to place a camera above the surface of the froth phase which is configured to capture a video stream of the froth surface. Image analysis techniques are then used to calculate, amongst others, froth velocity, height, stability and bubble size.

For continuous flotation systems, dynamic froth stability can be quantified using air recovery, α, as defined in Eq. (1): (1) α = v f h w L Q a where Q a is the air flowrate into the cell, v f the froth velocity as it overflows the lip, h w the height of the froth above the lip and L is the lip length of the flotation cell.

Critical raw materials (CRMs) are of primary importance for energy storage systems as needed for electromobility. Many mineral deposits which contain CRMs are low-grade ores. To liberate the CRMs, a grinding of the mineral ores to very fine sizes below 20 µm particle size is necessary. However, the present class of industrial flotation plants fail to extract such fine and ultrafine particles.

The froth modifier can be added separately from the collecting agent, or together with the collecting agent as a single flotation agent. The total content of the two compounds varies over a wide range based on ore type, particle size and other process parameters but generally amounts to 50-1000 g/ton of ore to be floated.

A dynamic stability factor (the ratio of the volume of froth to air flowrate) has been used to measure froth stability in mineral flotation systems at laboratory scale [78]. It was found that at low frother concentrations (30-40 g/ton), the equilibrium froth volume increases with increasing air flowrate.
