(01. 201-93) This invention relates to an improvement in aeration machines, and more particularly to an aeration or flotation machine oithe type forming the subject of my United States Patents Numbers 5 2,055,065 and 2,085,947, as well as oi an applica- ,tion for United States patent, Serial No. 114,114, Henry F. Dietz, applicant.
Aeration or flotation machines embodying the inventions of the aforesaid patents and appli m cation for patent, are peculiarly efilcient in producing an abundant, finely bubbled froth, which is much desired in the practice of modern flotation as applied-to metallurgical and other pulps.

Referring to the drawing, the numeral 20 designates a tank or container adapted to confine a '1 metallurgical flotation pulp in the form of a bubble column 2| having the pulp level It.
Submersedat a low point in the bubble column is an impeller 26 which is fast on a shaft 27, this shaft being rotatably supported in a bearing stand 28. The stand in turn is S pported on'longitudinal beams 29, and the beams may rest on end walls 30, and partition walls 3|, 3m, and lib, forming parts of the tank structure 20. Rte

1700 it. per minute, the airten'ds to bubble out through the spaces between the teeth or lugs 32. It the impeller were to standstill. the bubbles the properties of well known frothing reagents;
in rising through the pulp in the bubble column 2|, gather to themselves the mineral values in the pulp, and carry these values with them through and upwardly from, the pulp surface 24.
Since the mineral extraction from flotation pulp is fractional in a single cell, it is customary in practice to arrange the cells in batteries, the
showing in Fig. 3 being typical. Communication .through the successive. cells may be effected by means of openings in the respective partitions, similar to the one indicated at 4|. Pulp may be fed to a battery through a feed inlet compartment 42 at the first cell, and be discharged from a battery over a weir consisting of removable sections 43 at the last cell, the fiow of pulp being retarded by a baflle 45. By means of the removable weir sections, the pulp level 24 in all the cells, may be regulated as desired.
What-has been explained so far, is a brief rsum of the disclosures in the aforesaid patents and application for patent, and does not constitute part of the present invention, excepting .in combination or conjunction with what is now to be described. Y
The tank and its component cells, in cross-section, are preferably symmetrical on each side of the longitudinal axial plane of the impeller, and
are arranged to discharge froth along the two opposing longitudinal sides of the cells. Bridging 4 the frothing compartment of each cell longitudinally, is a trough 46 which may have the inclined 55 discharge mouth may contain removable weir sec- 35 The opening 52; should be only'large enough tosides46a, and the horizontal bottom 46'. The trough dips into the pulp so that the bottom of the trough is below the pulp level 24. The trough divides the frothing compartment into two parts 25a and 25b, and the trough sides form deflectors, which at least partially define the frothing compartments. Since the trough sides extend-upward and forward in converging relation to the wall lines 41 of the cell, each frothing compartment is given the form of an inverted wedge; the function of which will presently be explained. Opposite eachdeflector 46a is a. discharge mouth 5| through which the froth leaves the cell. Each tions 53, for the'purpose of varying, as may be required, the level at which the froth overflows. .The trough may be supported by any suitable means, for example, by clip angles 49 and 50,
go which are fastened 'to the opposing cross walls I level to which froth may rise, in order to prevent entry of froth into trough.
Inoperation, the abundance of fine bubbles produced by the impeller, riseth'rough the pulp, and emerge at the pulp level in a large volume of froth which brushes against the outside surfaces of the deflectors 46a and is positively and (5 continuously crowded ,or pushed throughthe discharge mouths. At the same time, the'trough prevents any portion of the froth from entering thereinto, and therefore, from coming into contact with the rotating shaft 21.
In past practice I have found that. without the trough, froth piles up around the shaft .21, and coming into close contact with the moving surface of the shaft, 9. large part of the individual bubbles of the froth are destroyed. Such destruction of bubbles," causes mineral particles with which they were loaded, to be instantly dropped,
and to be drawn down along the shaft into the lower part of the bubble column, where they must be picked up again by other bubbles. Obviously, such adverse action causes a veryv perceptible loss in efllciency, and cuts down the otherwise large.
capacity of the machine, correspondingly. The trough 46 not only prevents the objection just outlined, but at the same time, the stationary deflectors 46a, cause the froth from the frothing compartments 25a and 25b, to be automatically pushed, positively and vigorously, over the weirs 53 instead of sluggishly building up in the space pulps, for the reason, that it finds an extensive application in this art. However, it is not necessarily restricted thereto, because the bridgingv trough with its upwardly diverging, deflecting side members, may be usefully employed inother arts where the aeration of a liquid or semi-liquid is involved in order to produce a froth which rises through the mirror surface of the liquid. So also, the term aeration is not restricted to ordinary air, but relates to any gaseous substance which is to be diffused through a liquid or semiliquid.
