Title: Holistic flotation approach for reagents and equipment

Nik Zwaneveld of Nalco discussed flotation trends in mineral processing in Mining Magazine October 2018 issue. A trend in flotation is the recognition that true optimisation requires a holistic approach to managing improvement. “Looking at changing a reagent or adding a piece of equipment independently of these effects on the rest of the circuit usually doesn’t really provide overall improvement,” says Frank Cappuccitti, president of Flottec. “In order to truly optimise a plant, a thorough understanding of the chemistry, physics, geometallurgy, operating strategy, circuit configuration and equipment as well as operation training and education are important to achieve true improvement." “Companies like Metrix that can provide all these services in one program will become the norm in mining in the future. When you take a holistic approach, this also leads to better leadership and management of the people in plants as they clearly know the program and their responsibilities that can be measured over time."
