Title: A study of multistage/multifunction column for fine particle separation. Quarterly technical progress report, October 1, 1994--December 31, 1994

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:10122209

The overall objective of the proposed research program is to explore the potential application of a new a multistage column equipped with vortex-inducing loop-flow contactors (hereafter referred to as the multistage flotation column) for flotation processes using gaseous-CO{sub 2}. The research work will identify the design parameters and their effect on the performance of the separation process. The results of this study will provide a basis for further development of this technology. In the last quarter, the authors completed Task 1 (Project Planning) and performed equipment design. In this quarter, the authors have started to construct the new column for hydrodynamic tests and expect to complete the installation work in the next quarter. The shake-down test is scheduled for March 1995.
