Abstract
The central step in flotation is particle collection, with solids suspension together with gas dispersion and reagent mixing as necessary preconditions for particle collection. Solids suspension is therefore often identified as an important subprocess for effective flotation. Yet, surprisingly little work has been published on solids suspension in mechanical flotation cells, especially more recent studies since the advent of round mechanical flotation cells and the subsequent dramatic increases in maximum cell sizes are largely lacking.
