Frothers

Frothers act to stabilise air bubbles so they remain well-dispersed in the slurry and form a stable froth layer that can be removed before the bubbles burst.

Adaptable to a broad range of mineral separations

Froth flotation is a highly versatile method for physically separating particles based on differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to specific mineral surfaces in a mineral/water slurry.

The particles with attached air bubbles are then carried to the surface and removed, while the particles that remain completed wetted stay in the liquid phase.

The most commonly used frothers are alcohols and polypropylene glycols. The polypropylene glycols, in particular, are very versatile and can be tailored to give a wide range of froth properties.

Fosterville Gold Mine: Successful Deployment of Milling Optimisation Technology

Agnico Eagle Fosterville Gold Mine (Fosterville) operates a gold plant in Australia comprising of a crushing and grinding circuit (SAG mill with a closed loop cyclone classification circuit) followed by flotation, bacterial oxidation and leaching circuits. The lack of surge capacity between the grinding and flotation circuit and restrictions on crushing operations due to noise constraints resulted in unique set of challenges, that required the implementation of a novel control solution using advanced instrumentation.
