Abstract

Froth flotation is a widely used method for the concentration of sulfide minerals. The structure of the superficial froth is an indicator of the performance of froth flotation alongside with the operational conditions in which this process is carried out. The aim of this study is to explore how the different operational conditions that can be managed in a flotation plant could directly influence the observable characteristics of the superficial froth. For this purpose, a froth image database was created using a special laboratory cell, designed to emulate the conditions seen in an industrial flotation cell. The database contains 2250 images, distributed in 45 categories; each category has a specific combination of testing conditions, and the main visual characteristics are observed. It also includes a methodology used to assess the quality of each corresponding category.
