METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SEPARATING A SOLID FROM A SLURRY BY FLOTATION

摘要

In a flotation process for separating a mineral from a slurry, air is inserted into the slurry to form bubble-solid aggregates between the chemical conditioning of the slurry and the separating vessel. The air is fed into the slurry through closures which are preferably located above the level of the surface of the slurry is the separating vessel so that they do not become clogged when the process has stopped.
