Jacques Bezuidenhout, Nalco Water, USA, addresses why flotation circuits have to continually improve and adapt to the changing needs across mineral processing operations.
F
lotation is at the heart of mineral processing. An optimised flotation circuit can positively impact mineral recovery while maximising grade. Mineral processing plants continue to face challenges with increasing variability in flotation, such as: ore body changes, shifting customer requirements, and more. Furthermore, mining companies are examining ways to make their flotation processes more efficient, looking at methods such as coarse particle flotation
