Abstract:
      The paper summarizes characteristics of flotation cells’ flat arrangement in terms of particularity, applicability, and superiority. One of the defining characteristics of flat arrangement is by using self-pumping flotation cells, it keeps overflow weir of flotation cells in different banks in the same level. Flat arrangement is appropriate for plants of small capacity and for processing minerals of low density but at the same time the flotation process of the plant is relative complex such as a sequence of cleaner concentrates return back to main process.By analyzing two applications of flat arrangement, the paper compares install space and installed powers of flat arrangement and staged layout. The conclusion is under the premise that flat arrangement is suitable, with the number of the cleaners, equipment and stages increase, the superiority of flat arrangement is more evidence.
