Froth flotation is a physico-chemical separation process. Separation is principally based on differences in surface hydrophobicity. However, particle size and density have a significant impact. Initial flotation patent and application was developed for graphite by the Bessel brothers (1877). Similar to graphite, coal is naturally hydrophobic.

What Are Column Flotation Cells?
The other type of flotation cells is a column cell. Column cells are tall round tanks that use compressed air to create air bubbles via spargers or cavitation tubes. These cells are used to perform mineral separations. Column cells do not use mechanical agitation (impellers). Mixing is achieved by the turbulence provided by the rising bubbles.

Flotation Froth
The cell volume of laboratory flotation equipment is much less than coal preparation plant flotation cells. As a result, the fluid dynamics differ greatly which means the dosages of the reagents (frother and collector) cannot be scaled up from the laboratory test to a pilot plant or coal preparation plant flotation cell.

A review on flotation of coal using mixed reagent systems
There have been continued research efforts towards improvement in using new reagents, mode of aeration, bubble dispersion and modifications in cell designs etc. In coal flotation, regardless of its rank or surface oxidation, the use of single non-polar hydrocarbon oil has been common practice (Polat et al., 2003). These low-chain oily ...

Coarse particle flotation: A review
In the conventional flotation cell, the detachment of particles from the bubbles due to turbulence is the main reason for the decline in the coarse particle recovery (De et al., 2007, Fuerstenau et al., 2007).However, turbulence is imperative in the flotation cell to bring about bubble particle collision, keep particles in suspension, and disperse …
