The Aminpro contact cell is a pneumatic flotation unit that mixes and pressurizes mineralized slurries with air and releases the mixture in a column-like vessel. Flotation kinetics in the contact cell are extremely fast, resulting in reduced capital costs, power consumption, and flootprint requirements compared to mechanical cells. It was invented by Roger Amelunxen in the 1990s and has since been upgraded with the following modifications to enhance flotation and separation efficiciency:
- Ugraded cell contactor to a hydraulic cavitation reactor
- Anti-short-circuiting device in the separator
The Contact Cell is used all over the world for:
- Flash flotation of Au/Ag
- Coarse flotation (Phosphate Industry)
- Oil-sand separation (Tar Sands)
- Oil-water separation
- Enhanced molibdenite recovery
- High recoveries and concentrate grades
