World’s largest flotation cells improve copper and molybdenum recovery in Mexico. The first two Outotec TankCell e630’s – the largest operating flotation cells in the world at 630 m 3 – are running at the Buenavista del Cobre BVC concentrator in Northern Mexico. Start-up was completed in March 2018, and since then the site has ...

in the copper product and optimize the copper in the nickel product. Advanced pH controllers were implemented to ensure a desired pH control that promotes selectivity of nickel and copper at bulk flotation and separation circuits respectively. The analysis of the results indi es that the advanced process control system has improved the
Further reagents collectors are added to the flotation cells 3, 5 and 9. The collector distribution pattern is 32% for ball mill feed, 32% for the third rougher flotation cell, 20% for the fifth rougher flotation cell and 16% for the ninth rougher flotation cell. Tailings from the last rougher flotation bank
cobalt ore concentrator flotation cell from factory Flotation of Nickel-Copper Sulphide Ore: Optimisation of 12 Aug 2014 Abstract -Froth flotation is widely used for concentration of base metal sulphide optimum conditions for the flotation of nickel copper and cobalt from a technique that has been widely used for product design and process ...
Low pressure air is supplied to each flotation cell within the Phu Kham flotation circuit. The airflow to each cell is controlled by vendor-supplied instrumentation. Similarly, cell levels are controlled by vendor supplied instrumentation. Dual internal dart valves on the outlet of each cell control pulp level in the cells.
The stream is then divided between parallel rows of flotation cells. Each row contains several agitators to maintain suspension and to disperse air into the slurry. As the air bubbles rise to the surface of the cells, the hydrophobic copper mineral particles attach preferentially to the bubbles and form a stable froth, which continuously ...
material to the overflow when not operating as designed. Coarse material in the flotation feed reduces the economic performance of the concentrator through lower valuable mineral recovery and in extreme cases, through blocking of the flow path in the flotation cells. The existing oversize detection system is installed on the combined hydrocylcone
