the reliability of operation, in order to guarantee that performance is consistent and stable.the ability to generate appropriate air dispersion with small bubbles that will promote the desired flotation performance.The main criteria to be considered when developing or choosing spargers are: Sparger systems are essential in pneumatic flotation since both aeration and particle suspension depend on them. In the past few decades, the main evolution of column flotation technology has occurred in the development of new sparger systems. This effect has been shown in several studies. The small bubbles provide higher surface area, which is favorable for flotation kinetics. In order to optimize flotation for a specific aeration rate, the air sparging system must produce small bubbles. In turn, the amount of air is limited to the maximum flow rate that still provides a homogeneous distribution of rising bubbles without excessive turbulence and bubble collapse. In practical terms, the concentration of particles is limited to the maximum viscosity that allows a homogeneous distribution of ascending bubbles at a uniform rate and to the maximum acceptable hydrophilic entrainment in the froth. Since the flotation process is interaction between particles and air bubbles, the greater the concentration of hydrophobic particles and available air bubble surface, the more effective the process.
