Scavenger flotation cells are used in mineral processing circuits to recover valuable minerals remaining in the tailings after rougher flotation. Instead of focusing on concentrate upgrading, scavenger flotation provides an additional recovery stage before material leaves the flotation circuit.
Depending on ore characteristics and process requirements, one or multiple scavenging stages can be arranged to further recover floatable valuable minerals. The equipment can be integrated into roughing, cleaning and scavenging circuits for suitable metallic and non-metallic mineral flotation applications.
After rougher flotation, some valuable mineral particles may remain in the rougher tailings. A scavenger flotation stage processes this stream again to recover additional floatable minerals before final tailings discharge.
A simplified flotation circuit can be represented as:
Ore Slurry → Rougher Flotation → Rougher Tailings → Scavenger Flotation → Final Tailings
The recovered scavenger product may be returned to another stage or processed further depending on the flotation flowsheet.
Rougher tailings enter the scavenger flotation cell for further separation. Under suitable aeration, agitation and reagent conditions, remaining hydrophobic valuable mineral particles attach to air bubbles and rise to the slurry surface.
The mineralized froth is collected for further processing, while the remaining slurry proceeds toward final tailings treatment or discharge. Actual flotation performance depends on ore properties, mineral liberation, particle size, reagent conditions, aeration and flotation time.
Grinding & Classification → Conditioning → Rougher Flotation → Scavenger Flotation
Meanwhile: Rougher Concentrate → Cleaner Flotation → Final Concentrate
The exact circuit arrangement should be determined according to the ore characteristics and flotation test results.

Scavenger flotation can be applied to suitable flotation processes involving:
Equipment configuration should be selected according to the actual ore and process conditions.
For scavenger flotation equipment selection, the following information is useful:
For an existing processing plant, providing information about the current rougher and tailings circuit can help determine a suitable flotation configuration.
Scavenger flotation is an additional flotation stage used to recover floatable valuable minerals remaining in rougher tailings.
Cleaner flotation processes rougher concentrate to improve concentrate quality, while scavenger flotation processes rougher tailings to recover additional valuable minerals.
Yes. The number of scavenging stages depends on ore characteristics, flotation requirements and circuit design.
Selection should consider rougher tailings flow rate, ore properties, particle size, required flotation time and overall flotation circuit design.
Y&X Beijing Technology Co., Ltd. provides flotation equipment, flotation machine spare parts and related equipment for mineral processing applications. Equipment configurations can be selected according to ore characteristics, processing capacity and flotation circuit requirements.
