Abstract

This paper reviewed the developing course of the flotation column since the 1960`s in China. Based on the practical data from several coal preparation plants, two types of flotation columns (the pressure aerated column and the jetting-cyclone column) were compared by their operation, performance and the reasons why they succeeded in the coal industry in China. The paper points out that the flotation column has come into commercial use and has good application prospects in China.

Static column and its industrial application in China

Conference Lu, M; Wang, F; Liu, W; ...

The column, as an advanced fine coal cleaning equipment, has been developed for more than 20 years. The Microcel, Jameson cell and other types of columns have been used in the coal industry. Since 1990, the cyclonic micro-bubble flotation column has been developed. The test of 1.5 M packed column is underway in the Shitai coal preparation plant. Chinese fine coal is quite difficult to separate. Its native ash content is high and the floatability is difficult. There is not compressed air available in the small coal mine. The high cost for waste-water treatment limited the usage of wash water.more »« less
Column flotation: Processes, designs and practices. Process engineering for the chemical, metals and minerals industry, Volume 2

Book Rubinstein, J

Practically all mined ores of non-ferrous and rare metals and an increasing share of industrial minerals and coal are processed through flotation. This book presents the analysis of a wide range of problems in the process theory of flotation columns, including the first published analysis of models of flotation froths. The experience of pilot tests and commercial applications of column flotation for mineral processing and in waste water treatment circuits are also considered. This is the first book to consider column flotation design and operation experience and to present data on column parameters. Topics include: design of flotation columns; aeratorsmore »« less
The development of new Microcel{trademark} column flotation circuit for BHP Australia coal`s peak downs coal preparation plant

Conference Brake, I; Eldridge, G

In Australia`s Bowen Basin coal preparation plants, twenty-five years of development work on conventional sub-eration flotation machines have resulted in optimized circuit design, the application of customized reagents, optimal conditioning practice, increased mechanical reliability and enhanced control systems. In recent years, world-wide research has shown the potential for a quantum leap above existing flotation performance through new technology. The 2,000 tph Peak Downs Coal Preparation Plant, managed by BHP Australia Coal, is Australia`s largest. The plant produces prime coking coal through dense medium cyclones and froth flotation. The paper describes on-line pilot scale testing of three different novel flotation devices.more »« less
The jet flotation column control system

Conference Zhiqiang, Xu; Shangzhi, Ming; Lijian, Liu; ...

Compared with the conventional mechanical flotation column, the jet flotation column has the advantages of high selectivity of separation, low investment and production cost, low floor space requirement, low dosage of reagent, easy control; it is more suitable to process fine particles. Recently, many new types of flotation columns have been developed with new methods. Mineral Processing Dept., China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing) designed an aerated, double-jet flotation column in the lab and the industrial trial will be put into operation. One of the significant characteristics of the new type of flotation column is high selectivity of separation,more »« less
Fine coal flotation of plant waste: An in-plant comparison -- columns vs. sub-a cell

Technical Report Ehrlinger, III, H; Lytle, J; Rapp, D; ...

The objective of this project is to compare the flotation effectiveness of the column flotation and the sub-aeration technology to clean very fine ({minus}100 mesh) coal in the waste streams of coal washing plants. The recent developments in the flotation of fine coal from the waste streams of coal washing plants has been favorable. Good concentrate grades along with a high recovery of energy content have been achieved while rejecting a large percentage of the ash forming minerals and pyrite. However, comparative data of columns vs. sub-aeration cells is not available from a single plant. This project was developed tomore »« less
