Method and apparatus for improving froth flotation

摘要

An apparatus for supplying a reagent to a froth flotation cell. The flotation cell is fed by a flotation gas feed line. A predetermined volume is in fluid communication with said flotation gas feed line. The volume has a gas inlet on an upstream side, a gas outlet on a downstream side. An atomiser is positioned intermediate the inlet and outlet to atomise the reagent into the predetermined volume. The atomised reagent is then entrained with the flotation gas entering said cell.
