The most widely accepted method for upgrading ultrafine coal is froth flotation. Froth flotation is a physicochemical process that separates particles based on differences in surface wettability. Flotation takes place by passing finely dispersed air bubbles through an aqueous suspension of particles (Fig. 17). A chemical reagent, called a ...

1. Introduction. A dissolved air flotation (DAF) system has been known as one of the effective water treatments that purifies contaminants through a buoyancy effect by attaching several micro-bubbles on their free surface as shown in the supporting information (Fig. S1; Kwak and Kim, 2017).Since the DAF system was firstly used to treat drinking …

Switch flotation method – Gunge sticks to the air pocket, and metal particles tumble to the base. This is the way it works. How froth floatation works. Some of the minerals in the ore are picked up by a liquid film and floated on top of a mass of fluid pulp. This process, called floatation, separates the valuable minerals from less valuable ones.

The process is similar to a generic DAF process with the main difference being that clarified effluent water is drawn off the bottom of the DAF tank by a series of lateral draw-off pipes that allow for uniform distribution along the bottom of the DAF cell. Thus, the Clari-DAF system can operate at SLRs as high as 20 gpm/ft2.

The actual flotation process is a complex, multi-factor coupling separation process. The bubble size is synergistically affected by the frother, collector, slurry properties, mechanical energy input, and air flow rate in the flotation cell. The effect of multi-factor coupling on the bubble size should attract sufficient attention.
