Lead flotation cell, Mount Isa Mines, January 1987

DESCRIPTION

DescriptionThe fine ground slurry from the rod and ball mills is mixed with special chemicals called reagents, and the air is blown through the slurry, creating a froth. These reagents change the surface tension of the air bubbles, making the metallic ore stick to the bubbles. This froth flows over the top into a collection of froth.DateJanuary 1987Rights© Mount Isa MinesCollectionMount Isa MinesSubjectMining EquipmentMining
