Brief Introduction
GSZ Company’s GSF cells is similar to the Sala AS series of flotation cells, ranging in size from 1.2 to 44 m 3, differs in design. These machines are designed to promote ideal mixing conditions, the vertical flows achieved maintaining solids in suspension. These cells minimizes vertical circulation, we are claiming that the natural stratification in the slurry is beneficial to the process. The impeller is positioned under a stationary hood which extends out to, and supports, the stationary diffuser. The impeller is a flat disc with vertical radial blades on both surfaces, the upper blades expelling air which is blown down the standpipe, and the lower blades expelling slurry from the central base area of the tank, all slurry flowing into the impeller being from below. The aerated slurry is then expelled through the conventional circular stator. Although the impeller has an unusually large diameter in relation to the rather shallow cell size, this preventing sanding in the comers, it is claimed that the air is dispersed into very closely sized fine bubbles which are particularly suited to fines flotation. The machines are used to treat a variety of materials, including base metals, iron ore, coal, and nonmetallic minerals.
