— A laboratory flotation cell designed by CSIRO Minerals and a cylindrical tank fitted with a Rushton turbine used as a flotation machine have been modelled. The impeller and cell geometries have been set up using multi-blocking and sliding mesh techniques. Complex two-phase flow fields within the cells are predicted.

Separating minerals in a froth flotation cell has a particularly corrosive effect on a slowly rotating rake and its components. Mixtures of slurry, surfactant, water, air and froth can quickly lead to failed seals and bearings. Which, of course, means costly unplanned downtime and lost productivity.
