Overcome Challenges in Flotation with Innovative Measurement Instrumentation
Efficiently separate valuable minerals from unwanted gangue material
Optimizing the flotation process and improving mineral recovery
Flotation is a widely used method in the mining industry for separating valuable minerals from gangue materials. Accurate measurement of key variables such as pH, froth level, compressed air flow, and reagent dosage is crucial for optimizing the flotation process, and achieving maximum mineral recovery. Conventional measurement instrumentation often faces challenges when dealing with harsh operating conditions such as froth buildup, compressed air pipe plug ups, and signal interference. To overcome these obstacles, Emerson's Measurement Instrumentation offers robust and reliable solutions specifically designed for flotation applications. With advanced sensors and intelligent analytics, Emerson's Measurement Instrumentation provides accurate and real-time data to enable operators to make informed decisions and optimize the flotation process for improved mineral recovery and operational excellence.

The Rosemount 396P pH Sensor/ORP Sensor, with integral cable, is specifically designed for improved life in harsh, dirty, and abrasive applications such as lime slurry waste treatment, paper machine headbox and pigment/dye applications, where large quantities of suspended solids are present. The pH/ORP sensor features a coating resistant TUpH large area reference junction and a rugged polypropylene body construction for maximum chemical resistance.
- Minimum pH/ORP sensor maintenance due to TUpH reference technology which ensures steady pH signal when sensor is coated
- Maximum pH/ORP sensor life due to helical reference pathway which hinders reference poisoning and cracking resistant glass
- SMART enabled for pH measurements
