Pilot Plant
Beneficiation and Froth Flotation
The separation process of froth flotation is a primary method of creating a high-valued concentrate. Conventional flotation equipment from both Denver and Wemco equipment companies is available for lab and pilot plant studies. Column flotation testing is also available on Diester Flotaire and MTU packed cloumn. Prior to pilot plant testing, flotation parameters such as reagents, conditioning time, pH, and stages are defined at lab scale. In conjunction with the flotation studies, mineralogy, surface chemistry, and liberation determination are made to define feed parameters.
