of free gold in a flash flotation cell. The gravity/flash flotation relationship for gravity recoverable gold In gold ore processing, flash flotation can be used in parallel, series or cleaning arrangements with BCC units as seen in Figure 2. In a cleaning application, the flash flotation cell creates a sulfide concentrate, which is then ...

Mechanical flotation cells can be broken down into two broad categories based on how air is introduced to the cell. In a self aspirated flotation cell air is introduced to the slurry, the vacuum created by the rotorusing . In a forced air flotation cell air is generated external to the cell by a low pressure blower,, and pumped down the
