The interaction of flash flotation with closed circuit grinding
A model of flash flotation has been developed that is incorporated into a circuit containing grinding and classification models. The overall circuit model simulates the grinding and flash flotation circuit of an operating gold mine and can be used to predict the performance of the circuit under a range of operating conditions.

Coarse free gold requires adequate agitation to maintain its suspension within the pulp. Literature states too much agitation can result in smaller bubbles which are less able to carry the dense gold to the surface and contribute to froth instability (Yoon, 2000).Lins and Adamian (1993) found rising eddies within a laboratory flotation cell provide enough energy to lift …
