Flotation is used in various mining processes such as gold and copper to recover
mineral particles ner than 0.5 mm
500 micron or 35 Mesh.

Minimum levels in the otation cell
Froth levels
Air injection for agitation
Level of pump sump
Slurry pH control
Flow meters for frothing agent dosing
Slurry and foam interface levels use
ultrasonic measurement when instruments can be installed at the top of the
otation tank
Measuring the slurry to bubble interface is
important to control the efciency of the
process. The density of the foam bubbles
is high enough to reect ultrasonic pulses
from a continuous ultrasonic level sensor. Using a two channel Prosonic S level
transmitter one FDU sensor measures the
distance to the bubble surface and the 2nd.

Sulphuric acid production.
Because large quantities of leaching solution
are used, it must be both cheap and easily
available. Sulphuric acid, for instance is often
produced directly on site. Sulphuric acid concentration has to be measured throughout the
different steps of production.
The best solution is the use of inductive conductivity sensors with Liquisys M transmitter
whereby the sensor is completely sealed by
PFA and PVDF and therefore the most resistant
to the aggressive acid.
Utilities
T- mass applications
Lubrication oil
Oil is used on cone crushers for lubrication
to prevent damage to bearings and shafts.
Various measurements are needed to ensure
the correct and trouble free operation of the
crusher.
System pressure
A pressure switch Ceraphant T is used
to ensure that the system pressure is
maintained and should the pressure drop
the crusher can be stopped before any
damage is caused.
Oil ow to the crusher
The mass ow is
measured by means of
a coriolis ow meter
to ensure that any
blockages in the piping
is timeously noticed.
Should the ow rate to
the crusher be interrupted the crusher can be stopped and an
alarm can be given.
