FLSmidth awarded 2020 Horizon grant to enhance flotation expertise within mining

In recent years, FLSmidth has participated in targeted collaborations with universities that have process knowledge and capability relevant to our business. Last year, we were approached to be the leading industrial partner in an application for EU funded research project with the aim of conducting research to advance our knowledge and understanding of flotation in mining while benchmarking various flotation technologies to each other. Flotation is extremely complex and requires a great deal of understanding in mechanical, process and metallurgical challenges. Since it is a key process area with impacts on upstream comminution and downstream dewatering, there is huge potential to save energy and resources through the innovations in refining flotation process technology.
