IMHO: Flotation cell is a mineral separation machine. What minerals does Jameson Cell separate during Cu-Mo flotation? Worse, the recovery of Cu in molybdenum concentrate is much higher than Mo.
If they extract 20% Mo in Mo concentrate, then simultaneously extract 50% Cu in Mo concentrate.
In order for the separation to proceed successfully, it is necessary that this be an almost horizontal line.
Why do I need a machine that cannot separate minerals?
Why does Glencore Technology insist on buying Jameson Cell that are not suitable for Cu-Mo flotation?

The Jameson Cell recovers both moly and copper at ratios close to 1:1 in the bulk circuit. Better than other technologies. When the chemistry is changed for copper moly separation in the moly circuit the Jameson Cell recovers moly exceptionally well. If you are doing a sequential float a selective separation is important but the quoted charts show the circuit where recovery of both minerals are targeted."
I answered: "Virginia Lawson. I read your article well. Do you know Cu-Mo flotation technology? Columns are used only for the separation of Cu from Mo concentrates. Cleaning is the separation of Cu and Mo concentrates in Columns. First cleaning! Because the second is called Recleaner. For collective Cu-Mo flotation use mechanical flotation machines. You do not not compare with them.
You wrote: ""JAMESON CELLS FOR PRIMARY CLEANING", " copper/molybdenum cleaning columns"..."
So I made the right conclusion: "Why does Virginia Lawson from Glencore Technology insist on buying Jameson Cell Jthat are not suitable for Cu-Mo flotation?"
