Of course an overloaded float circuit will result from an imbalance of reagent addition as well as not moving the froth off of the cell fast enough. Any time that you have an overloaded froth condition the OVERFLOW that is going over the side of the cell will slow down as the froth column begins to collapse under the weight of the mineral.

First let's change the amount of the Flotation Depressants used. The valuable mineral that isn't liberated from the unwanted mineral will begin to be depressed along with the waste. For the floatation operator, the change that will become most apparent is, that the color of the froth will begin to reflect more of the wanted mineral's color.
Flotation is a widely-used technique for separation and recuperation in the mineral industry for example 80% of world copper production uses froth flotation [33]. This is a …
