A novel scale-up approach for mechanical flotation cells
Gorain et al., 1997a, Gorain et al., 1997b and Alexander et al. (2000) suggested the use of the bubble surface area flux as the scale-up criterion by considering a linear relationship with the flotation rate. This approach was tested for cells over 50 L, where they believe the hydrodynamic effect (turbulence) to be less significant.

A novel scale-up approach for mechanical flotation cells
Cell sizing criteria Scale-up methods for flotation cell design have been mainly based on geometrical similitude and dimensional analysis with the use of dimensionless numbers (air flow number, power number, specific power, etc.) in order to reach similar solid suspension and similar pulp mixing conditions at different scales (Gorain, 2007). ...

Flotation Equipment | SpringerLink
Flotation equipment is a kind of beneficiation equipment which takes bubbles as the carrier and uses the difference in mineral surface wettability to separate minerals. In the late nineteenth century, flotation as a beneficiation method was explicitly proposed, and various types of flotation equipment were developed, including flotation …

Optimizing Flotation Cells
Flotation Cells (Froth Flotation) were developed to separate and recover high value Sulphide ores from low grade ore bodies. The ore is crushed and milled at the concentrator in a process known as comminution, where the mineral is in suspension in slurry. The particle size for mineral being recovered is generally less than <0.1mm.
