Froth flotation is a process for selectively separating hydrophobic materials from hydrophilic.This is used in mineral processing,paper recycling and waste water treatment industries.Historically this was first used in the mining industry,where it was one of the great enabling technologies of the 20th century.It has been described as "the.
Flotation column National Metallurgical Laboratory (NML) Madras Centre has developed a 0.5 m diameter semi-commercial flotation column fitted with state-of-the art control systems and flow meters to measure the flow rates of slurry, wash water and air.
To evaluate column flotation, Paprican's laboratory flotation column (10.2 cm in diameter and 4.65 m in height) was installed at the Kruger Inc., Place Turcot mill. The flotation column, which was previously described [1], is presented in Figure 2a.

The column flotation process has a substantial advantage over the mechanical batch flotation process for achieving higher grades with reduced maintenance cost as well as better control on the froth depth ( Wheeler, 1985, Finch and Dobby, 1990, Sastri, 1998, Bhaskar Raju and Prabhakar, 2002 ).
NML Madras Centre is pursuing the development of column flotation technology since 1990. Initially, a laboratory flotation column (75 mm dia) was developed and demonstrated in various mineral-processing inaustries. After successful campaign of the laboratory size flotation column, semi-commercial size (0.5 m dia) column was developed for online
