Maximise your recoveries in a flash Outotec

Maximise your recoveries in a flash Author: Rob Coleman Flash Flotation is the “instantaneous” flotation of liberated, high grade particles from the recirculating load in the grinding circuit. The concept has been around for almost eighty years, although it has only been recently that large scale Flash Flotation circuits have become a reality.
