TECHNICAL PAPERS
The Contact Cell
A flotation unit that mixes and pressurizes mineralized slurries with air and releases the mixture in a column-like vessel. It is used for:
-
Flash flotation of Au/Ag
-
Coarse flotation (Phosphate Industry)
-
Oil-sand separation (Tar Sands)
-
Oil-water separation
-
Enhanced molibdenite recovery
-
High recoveries and concentrate grades
Other benefits compared to conventional flotation include:
- Reduction in capital costs
- Reduced floor space for same performance
- Reduction in operating costs (Power)
The Aminpro Contact Cell
In 2004 the Aminpro Contact Cell was launched to replace the classic contact cell. New features on this optomized version include:
- Ugraded cell contactor to a hydraulic cavitation reactor
- Anti-short-circuiting device in the separator
The new features are included in the Aminpro Contact Cells being implemented at the Phelps Dodge – Bagdad concentrator in Arizona.
