Flotation cells have a wide range of applications in the field of particle separation as a traditional flotationunit. Due to the declining ore grades and the increasing market demand for mineral resources, recoveringparticles in a wider range of sizes efficiently is a challenge that plants must face, but which is not anadvantage of traditional units. The fluidized flotation cell is a new type of flotation unit that has emergedin the last 20 years and has been proven to have a good separation effect in a larger particle size range. Although studies related to fluidized bed flotation cells have been reported in the literature at this stage,the summary is not comprehensive enough to summarize the operating parameters and hydrodynamicproperties of cells. To fill this gap, this paper summarizes the unique structures and applications of fourfluidized bed flotation cells based on published research work. The factors affecting the operating parametersof cells have been extensively discussed. Progress related to the study of hydrodynamic parameters,such as minimum fluidization velocity, gas holdup, bed expansion and porosity in cells, is also reviewed. The end of the review offers some insights into future fluidized bed research interests.
