Thickening

or launder suspended from the bridge. To avoid excess velocity, an open launder normally has a slope no greater than 2/100. Pulp should enter the launder, suspended from the bridge, at a velocity that prevents sanding at the inlet. The standard feed well for conventional thickeners is designed for a

Review Scale-up in froth flotation: A state-of-the-art review

Paper: Risk-Based Design for Slurry Launders

Abstract: A risk-based design approach using the principles of Six Sigma, has been applied to the design of open channel launders used to convey slurry in mineral processing plants. The variability in design input parameters was defined using a triangular probability distribution for the minimum, normal and maximum design values.

Flotation

The FLOTATION PROCESS is one of the commonest methods of extracting the valuable minerals from certain classes of ores, and it is generally more efficient as regards the recovery of the minerals than any other process applicable to the treatment of similar types of ores. The metallic contents of the minerals are recovered from the …

SELECTION OF MECHANICAL FLOTATION EQUIPMENT

Another advantage of the ank cell design is the ability to symmetrically alter the t froth surface areato suit the flotation duty at hand. This is normally done by adjusting the size of concentric crowders, and/or using different launder configurations. The net result is that the tank shape and design is for the intended flotation optimized duty.
