— The CGA generation was adapted to be air flow-controlled so that it could be well adopted in the continuous flotation process. In the air flow-controlled generator, the optimum stirring speed for bubble generation was determined to be 8000 rpm. The average sizes of CTAB-CGAs and SDS-CGAs created under this condition were around 44.1 μm …
Only the flotation process mentioned above could make this practicable; and even so, it requires large companies with huge plants, continuous working and immense capital. This explains why, in order to smelt 4 million tons of new copper in 1963, nearly 400 million tons of ore had to be handled and treated in various ways.
