Background
A counter-current flotation column (abbreviated as "flotation column") is a flotation device in which slurry is fed from the top of a cylindrical container by means of a bubble generator provided at the bottom of the container, and the slurry flowing downward collides with rising bubbles, so that the bubbles trap and adsorb floating minerals (termed "mineralization" in the technical term) and are discharged from the top of the container. Thereby achieving separation between minerals.
The aim of the flotation column is to separate the valuable minerals from the unusable minerals, usually the valuable minerals are carried with the gas bubbles from the upper part of the flotation column, while the unusable minerals are discharged from the bottom part of the flotation column, the control and regulation of the liquid level of which is important during operation of the flotation column, and fluctuations in the liquid level will affect the separation indicator of the flotation.
