Research on the Selection of Flotation Machine for a Lepidolite Mine
The traditional flotation machine selection method has obvious drawbacks,and it has become less and less suitable for the requirements of engineering leanness.In this paper,the XFD laboratory flotation machine and LFM01 laboratory flotation machine were used to carry out the Lepidolite flotation test,and the flotation rate and content of different components of Lepidolite and gangue minerals were calculated based on the results of batch flotation test and the JKSimFloat flotation recovery mathematical model.On this basis,according to the determined flotation circuit,the metallurgical performance of different flotation machine selection schemes was simulated by JKSimFloat software.The results show that the LFM01 laboratory flotation cell has better performance than the XFD laboratory flotation cell,and it is more suitable for carrying out the flotation machine selection test;by comparing the simulation results of different selection schemes,the optimization of flotation machine configuration can be guided,so as to make up for the shortcomings of traditional flotation machine selection methods.
