The Jameson Cell was developed to overcome the design and operating inadequacies of conventional flotation cells and column cells. And from its first installation, it has been continuously improved to make it easier to use. Designs are now at Mark V. They're treating coal, base and precious metals, potash, bitumen, graphite, and recovering ...

Instead, new magnification principles for the jet flotation cells need to be developed. Three principles of the magnification of the FJCA series jet flotation cells are introduced in this article: 1. the similarity of the fluid dynamics and kinetics of the coal slurry; 2. the similarity of the geometries of the aeration agitator; 3. the ...

FLOTATION. A.V. Nguyen, in Encyclopedia of Separation Science, 2007 Industrial Applications of Flotation.

The other type of flotation cells is a column cell. Column cells are tall round tanks that use compressed air to create air bubbles via spargers or cavitation tubes. These cells are used to perform mineral separations. Column cells do not use mechanical agitation (impellers). Mixing is achieved by the turbulence provided by the rising bubbles.
