METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING A FLOTATION CELL

摘要

A method and apparatus for determining the reflectivity of the tailings from a coal flotation cell to optimize the cell operation. A photoelectric detector determines the coal content of the tailings and through a process controller; frother and collector addition to the cell is monitored. An ultrasonic energy vibration is periodically transmitted to the detector to remove deposits on the detector to optimize detector operation.
