Rotor–stator mechanisms, which are the key components in flotation cells, serve to mix the slurry and the air bubbles. The optimization of rotor–stator mechanisms improves the metallurgical performance and decreases the energy consumption of a flotation cell. The angle of the impeller blades, which is an important aspect of the design of rotor–stator mechanisms, …

no flotation can occur. Contact between particles and bubbles can be accomplished in a flotation cell such as the one shown schematically in Figure 5. Figure 5: Simplified schematic of a conventional flotation cell. The rotor draws slurry through the stator and expels it to the sides, creating a suction that draws air down the shaft of the stator.

The ground sample was transferred into a 1.5 L flotation cell. The airflow rate was 47 L/h, and the agitation speed was 1750 rpm. The batch flotation tests were conducted according to the flow sheet shown in Fig. 1. The concentrate and tailing products were filtered, dried, and weighed. The P 2 O 5 and MgO grades of the flotation products were ...

It is, therefore, a challenge to measure the local turbulence distribution accurately in the flotation cell. The lack of experimental data limits the fundamental understanding of flotation sub-processes as many flotation models assume consistent turbulence throughout the cell, which is difficult to validate and decreases their utility.
