This research involved numerous team based industrial campaigns to measure hydrodynamic conditions (superficial gas velocity (Jg), gas hold-up (g), bubble diameter (Db) and frother concentration) in industrial flotation cells. The primary focus of this thesis is the data collected at Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd.’s LaRonde concentrator and Inmet Mining Corp’s Troilus concentrator. These campaigns helped identify key measurements and required steps toward controlling hydrodynamic characteristics for cells and banks of cells. This research sought to investigate the dependence of bank performance on the setting of profiles for both gas velocity and frother concentration. Some cell characterization and frother analysis work is described. The difficu...
