COAL FLOTATION
The standard practice on coal in England has been to use cell-to-cell "Sub-A" Flotation Machines of the double overflow type. Several hundred of the large No. 30 cells (100 cu. ft./cell) are in use. Super-charging is not generally used. Flotation is carried out at low solids, usually under 10% dilution.
