Barrick Gold Corporation has selected Metso’s Concorde Cell flotation technology for its Lumwana expansion project in North-Western Province, Zambia.
The Concorde Cell flotation cells will operate in combination with the TankCell technology previously chosen for the project, enhancing the optimisation of the flowsheet.
The high-intensity Concorde Cell is Metso’s advanced solution for processing complex orebodies. It is engineered to deliver faster flotation kinetics, higher recovery rates of fine and ultra-fine particles, and consistent concentrate-grade quality.
The forced-air pneumatic system generates intense shear forces and extremely fine bubbles, improving recovery for particles smaller than 20 microns.
