Froth flotation is commonly used to produce nickel concentrate. The pentlandite is relatively slow floating compared to chalcopyrite (Allison and O'Connor, 2011), while pyrrhotite is even slower (Gibson and Kelebek, 2014).This slow flotation leads to the need for longer cell residence times, resulting in higher cumulative levels of gangue entrainment into the concentrate.
The primary rougher flotation cells at BRPM are Outokumpu tank cells with approximately 50 m 3 of effective volume, 4.282 m in diameter, and 4.4 m in height. The cells are also configured with a froth crowder of approximately 1.3 m diameter (at the froth surface level), a 45 cm wide internal concentrate launder and an external concentrate launder.
