Many studies have showed that not only the grade data [20], but also the visual characteristics of froth surface have a strong relationship with the working conditions in froth flotation [1,2,30 ...

A dynamic model of fluidized-bed flotation

The concept of fluidized-bed flotation (FBF) (e.g. HydroFloat TM) was recently introduced to improve the recovery of coarse particles (425 to 1180 µm). In spite of encouraging results from the first industrial applications dating back more than a decade, FBF still remains an emerging technology in the global mining industry.
