Abstract

The modeling of flotation is a difficult task due to the influences of mineralogical features of ores, floatability of various minerals governed by pulp environments, flotation kinetics and hydrodynamic variables. In the paper the dynamic modeling of flotation is studied. Based on the first order flotation rate equation, the dynamic description of a continuous flotation process is obtained both for a single continuous flotation cell and n cells arranged in series. A dynamic model for the multi-component case of continuous flotation is also discussed. The models obtained give the dynamic behaviors when the flotation parameters are changed due to the variation of the chemical and physical environment.
