Flotation Feed Slurry Density Monitoring
Define a real-time density duty for flotation feed, concentrate or tailings without confusing density with recovery or grade.
Connect density to the flotation operating objective
Pulp density can influence flotation conditions, but it is one input among mineralogy, grind size, reagent dosing, air, froth and residence time. A useful SDM ECO duty starts with a representative line and a stated decision.
Representative mineral-processing validation image; no specific flotation plant is implied.
Frame the flotation application
Use circuit evidence to choose the point and interpret the signal.
Feed context
Record upstream grinding, conditioning, dilution and the feed point into the flotation bank.
Material variability
Document ore type, solids range, particle size, reagents, bubbles and expected transitions.
Decision supported
State whether density supports dilution, feed stability, mass balance or another defined response.
Reference data
Align density with flow, samples, grade and recovery data without treating them as interchangeable.
A practical measurement review pathway
Move from a broad application to a defined, testable duty before the signal is used for process decisions.
Map the circuit
Identify feed, concentrate and tailings boundaries.
Choose the point
Select a full-pipe location that represents the chosen duty.
Collect paired evidence
Synchronise online data, samples and operating context.
Set governance
Define alarms, invalid states, checks and permitted control actions.
Where the measurement can add value
Continuous measurement is useful only when the process boundary, validation method and operating response are explicit.
Potential value
Continuous density can reveal feed changes sooner than periodic sampling and add context to mass-balance calculations when combined with suitable flow data.
Important limits
Density cannot by itself determine grade, mineral recovery, froth quality or reagent demand. Independent metallurgical evidence remains necessary.
Sources and application boundary
These sources define the general measurement context. Final suitability depends on the actual composition, operating range, pipe or vessel conditions, materials, installation point and validation evidence.
