The new methodologies have contributed to improve predictions of flotation metallurgical performance using more refined scale-up methods, for example, analyzing the scale-up factor by size and liberation classes. These will allow for selecting the best equipment for each mineral and flotation stage (rougher, cleaner and scavenger).

Flotation experiments were conducted in a Denver type agitated flotation cell at the rougher stage. The experimental results showed that increasing the pH (from 8 to 10) at low agitation rate (1000 rpm) enhanced the recovery from 80.36% to 85.22%, while at high agitation rate (1200 rpm), a slight declination occurred in the recovery.
