• Particle surface polishing, ultra-fine bubbles and reagent mixing for enhanced flotation.

• High shear rate which keeps the metal/particle surface clean and active.

• Particle degradation due to shear forces within the Filblast assists in exposing unliberated metal (precious/base) particles in the ore.

• Reduced or removal of the boundary layer thickness formed on the metal/surface changes the dissolution rate from “diffusion rate dependent” to the “faster chemical rate”.

• It enhances the thermodynamic activity of the medium.

• Accelerated reaction kinetics for lower residence times and higher throughput rates.

• High intense mixing, allowing for maximum contact between reagent and metal/particles to be reacted. (Reynolds number 15000 as opposed to tank mixing where the Reynolds number is in the order of 1.0 – 1.5).

• Improved mineral and metal recoveries.

• Lower reagent consumption and costs.
