Title: Method and apparatus for concentration of minerals by froth flotation

Patent Application ·
OSTI ID:85579

The invention provides a froth flotation apparatus which employs a series of stationary baffles to create the required turbulence for separation of mineral ores from a mineral slurry without requiring a special apparatus for the generation of microbubbles. Each of the stationary baffles is designed to create a quiescent flow zone from which the non-floatable gangue may be removed from the flotation column.
