XFC Air Inflation Flotation Cell

The XFC Air Inflation Flotation Cell operates through a specially designed impeller-stator system and jet aeration device. When the impeller rotates at high speed, the slurry forms a specific circulation pattern in the tank, while air introduced by the aeration system is dispersed by the impeller into numerous fine bubbles uniformly distributed throughout the slurry. Hydrophobic mineral particles contact these bubbles and attach to their surfaces, rising with the bubbles to form a mineralized froth layer, which is collected by scrapers into the concentrate launder, while hydrophilic gangue particles remain in the slurry and discharge through the tailings outlet. This mechanism achieves effective mineral separation.

The main advantages of XFC Air Inflation Flotation Cells include: (1) Specially designed impeller-stator system produces more uniform bubble distribution and higher mineralization rates, with recovery rates 15-20% higher than traditional flotation machines; (2) Forced circulation technology avoids dead zones and short-circuit phenomena, giving mineral particles more thorough flotation opportunities; (3) Precisely controlled aeration system can adjust bubble size and distribution according to different mineral characteristics; (4) Low energy consumption, with unit processing energy consumption reduced by approximately 25%; (5) Highly automated control system supports remote operation and intelligent parameter adjustment; (6) Easy maintenance with long service life for key components.

XFC Air Inflation Flotation Cells have wide applicability and can process many types of minerals, including: sulfide ores (such as copper, lead, zinc, nickel); oxide ores (after sulfidation treatment); ferrous metal minerals (iron, manganese, etc.); non-metallic minerals (fluorite, feldspar, graphite, etc.); coal (de-ashing and desulfurization); and solid-liquid separation in industrial wastewater treatment. The equipment performs particularly well when processing fine particle size fractions (high proportion of -0.074mm) and moderately difficult flotation minerals, especially for beneficiation processes requiring precise control of bubble size and distribution.

Selecting appropriate XFC Air Inflation Flotation Cell specifications requires consideration of the following factors: (1) Processing capacity requirements - determining the required flotation volume based on the total processing capacity of the plant; (2) Ore characteristics - including mineral composition, particle size distribution, density, etc.; (3) Flotation process flow - including the number and requirements of roughing, cleaning, and scavenging stages; (4) Residence time requirements - different minerals require different flotation times; (5) Site constraints and space planning. The XCF series offers multiple specifications from 2 cubic meters to 36 cubic meters, and it is recommended to conduct laboratory or pilot plant tests before making final decisions to determine optimal flotation parameters and equipment configurations. Our engineers can provide professional selection advice based on your specific requirements.
