    The document discusses various flotation kinetics models and their relationships to upgrading curves. It also covers different types of flotation machines and their construction.

    The document discusses mechanical, pneumo-mechanical, pneumatic, and dissolved air flotation machines. Specific examples mentioned include Denver, Wemco-Fagergreen, RCSTM, XCELL, flotation columns, Jameson Cell, Pneuflot, and DAF.

    Mechanical flotation machines rely solely on impellers for particle agitation and aeration. They include machines like Denver and Wemco-Fagergreen. Pneumo-mechanical machines introduce compressed air through diffusers to supplement the mechanical agitation.

    FLOTATION KINETICS

    A flotation model is similar to chemical kinetics

    dN/dt =-k1 N1a- k2 N2b

    N - species (1 and 2) concentration


    t- time
    k - rate constant(s)
    a, b process order
    -negative sign indicates that the concentration is diminishing
    due to the loss
    of particles being floated.
    -exponents a and b signify the order of the process

    Since flotation seems to depend only on particles concentration

    dN/dt =-k1 N1a


    Flotation kinetics models

    Model Relation

    Classic first order = [1 exp (k1t)]


    Modified first order = {1 1/(k2t)[1 exp (k2t)]}

    For reactor with ideal mixing = [1 1/(1 + t/k3)]*


    = k4t/(1 + k4t)*
    Modified for gassolid adsorption

    Kinetics of second order = ( )2 k5t/(1 + k5t)

    Modified second order = {1 [ln (1 + k6t)]/(k6t)}


    = [1 { exp (k7t) + (1 ) exp(k8t)}
    Two rate constants

    Distributed rate constants = [1 exp(kt) f (k, 0) dk]

    * Equivalent models because k3 = 1/k4.
