How does the jameson cell work?

The Jameson Cell is a flotation device used in mineral processing to separate valuable minerals from ore. It operates by injecting air into a slurry of crushed ore and water, creating bubbles that attach to the hydrophobic particles, causing them to rise to the surface as froth. The design features a downcomer that enhances bubble-particle interactions and improves recovery efficiency. This technology is particularly effective for fine particle flotation and is known for its compact size and low operational costs.
