Abstract: This invention relates to a flotation gas flow controller for controlling a flow of a flotation gas to a flotation cell that separates valuable minerals from other materials in crushed ore. The gas flow controller includes a valve for controlling gas flow to the cell and a flow meter for monitoring gas flow to the cell via the valve. The flow meter is also for adjusting the valve as required to change the gas flow to meet the gas flow requirements for the cell. The invention also relates to a flotation cell that includes the gas flow controller, a flow control system and a method of controlling gas flow to a flotation cell with a gas flow controller.
