Agitated Vessels for Mineral Processing
Agitated vessels for mineral processing are heavy-duty mixing systems designed for ore leaching, flotation conditioning, reagent mixing, and other hydrometallurgical operations. These vessels handle abrasive mineral slurries while providing the mixing required for efficient mineral extraction and concentration.
Why are Agitated Vessels Needed for Mineral Processing?
Mineral processing requires agitated vessels that maintain ore particles in suspension for complete chemical contact, handle highly abrasive slurries without excessive wear, provide adequate residence time for leaching reactions, and condition slurries for subsequent flotation or separation.

Agitated Vessels for Mineral Processing FAQs
What designs optimize leach tank performance?
Leach tank optimization uses adequate residence time, complete suspension for particle exposure, and efficient oxygen/reagent distribution. Multiple tanks in series may provide required residence time with smaller individual vessels. Agitation maintains suspension without excessive power consumption. We design for target extraction efficiency.
How do you size flotation conditioning tanks?
Flotation conditioning sizing provides residence time for reagent adsorption while maintaining particles in suspension. Agitation intensity affects bubble attachment. Conditioning may occur in multiple stages with different reagents. We design conditioning systems for specific ore characteristics and reagent schemes.
