Abstract: A froth flotation arrangement and method for treating mineral ore particles suspended in slurry includes a flotation cell for separating the slurry into an underflow and an overflow and a primary line including at least three flotation cells connected in series, wherein each subsequent flotation cell is arranged to receive the underflow from the previous flotation cell, the flotation cell includes a tank and an impeller within the tank, and the flotation cell includes a gas supply within the tank, the tank includes a volume of at least 200 m3, the flotation cell including a froth collection launder capable to receive the overflow the froth collection launder including a froth overflow lip, the flotation cell having an available froth surface area (A froth), the flotation cell having a pulp area (A pulp), where the pulp area (A pulp) is calculated as an average from the cross sectional areas of the tank at the height (h1) of the impeller.

Abstract: A froth collection launder for a collection of froth from a mineral flotation includes a first and a second sidewall which are joined to form a bottom including a tip extending along the bottom, the first sidewall including a first end and the second sidewall including a second end at their open ends, at least one of the first and the second ends includes a froth overflow lip, and when the froth collection launder is positioned at its operation position a centre line is located in the middle of the first and the second end in the cross direction (x) of the froth collection launder. The tip is located between the centre line and one of the first and the second end in the cross direction (x) of the froth collection launder and the tip forms the lowest point of the froth collection launder.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for fixing screws in osteoporotic bones, formed by biocompatible fixing elements and an instrument for placing same. The instrument consists of two parts, a male part (A) and a female part (B), which can perform a relative linear sliding movement. The caudal end of each part has a pivoting jaw (Pa, Pb) forming an inverted U therebetween. The biocompatible element is placed in the jaw of the male part, which element will be traversed by a screw inserted through interchangeable guides (g) placed in the other jaw, acting as a locking and fixing nut for said screw. Both parts have a handle (m) to allow moving the jaws closer together. The opening of the device, restricted by a closure (C), is achieved by the action of a compression spring (R), upon releasing, by the action of the thumb, the catch inserted in the upper face, cut in a saw-toothed manner, of part A.
