Flotation Troubleshooting (2 replies and 1 comment)
Please join and login to participate and leave a comment.
Hi,
Fairly new to the flotation process. I'd like to ask for some insights in flotation troubleshooting. I work in a gold process plant with a rougher flotation circuit that concentrates gold bearing sulphides. Presently we are experiencing a noticeable drop in recovery and are investigating. Laboratory testwork conducted under plant parameters (density, grind, reagent dosage) yield recoveries that are much higher than plant performance. This suggests that the drop in performance should be caused by an operational or equipment issue on the plant. Visual inspections on the flotation cells do not reveal any deformities with the flotation cells on plant. What could we be missing? Any pointers are greatly appreciated.
