However, for a given bubble diameter, D_b, the imposed gas flux, j_g, is constrained in conventional flotation by the need to operate with a distinct froth and bubbly-pulp zone to ensure effective separation. An excessive j_g will result in flooding and ineffective separation as the overflow begins to resemble the underflow. The bubble surface flux, S_b, is limited to 30 to 60 s^-1 in conventional flotation [1]. This study is concerned with enhancing the kinetics of flotation by accommodating extreme feed and gas fluxes. Extreme bubble surface fluxes, up to 600 s^-1, were produced. This was achieved by incorporating an arrangement of parallel inclined channels below the main vertical chamber. This novel arrangement enhanced the bubble-liquid segregation, preventing the entrainment of bubbles to the underflow.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:23:45 AEDT ]]>
