Slam Jet Spargers
In mineral flotation applications, the SlamJet™ sparging systems promote the attachment and recovery of hydrophobic particles through the generation of a fine bubble dispersion that is evenly distributed across the flotation column. The sparging systems are designed to generate a large amount of bubbles at the optimum size for the given application. Specifically, they are designed to generate high rates of bubble surface area which guarantees a high probability of attachment and improved recoveries. In leaching and other hydrometallurgical applications, SlamJet™; spargers improve the process kinetics of the vessel contents by ensuring a high rate of gas dissolution. SlamJet™ spargers are proven in thousands of flotation applications. Designed for and used with these flotation systems, they are also easily retro-fitted to improve the performance of other flotation columns.
