Improvement in resolving hydrodynamic variables in multiphase flows is key to optimizing flotation performance. However, due to equipment complexity and opacity of three-phase systems, in situ measurements become challenging. Therefore, by using a novel multi-sensor approach, the aim of this study is to spatially resolve key hydrodynamic and gas dispersion parameters in a mechanical flotation cell such as superficial gas velocity (J_g), gas holdup (ε_g), bubble size distribution (BSD), and bubble surface area flux (S_b). A high-resolution inline endoscope (SOPAT), J_g and ε_g sensors were fixed at multiple axial positions in a 6L nextSTEP™ flotation cell. This multi-sensor concept has been applied to a simplified benchmark flotation scenario, as part of a binary (pyrite-quartz) flotation test campaign (30 % solid load). Varying operating conditions include tip speed (4.7 – 5.5 m/s), air flow (0.4 – 0.5 cm/s), frother (MIBC: 30 – 60 g/ton), and collector concentrations (PAX: 30 – 60 g/ton). S_b is a good indicator of gas dispersion efficiency in flotation, and local measurements indicated that there are significant differences in the local superficial gas velocities which can be measured with our adapted sensor. Real-time bubble size measurements reflected the high shear rates near the rotor–stator region. Overall, the gas flow rate and frother concentration were shown to have the most significant effect on the gas dispersion in the benchmark flotation tests.
