A flotation chamber separates fine kaolin particles or the like by flotation out of a slurry. A generally cylindrical column has an inlet for injecting slurry into the column, a froth launder at an upper end of the column, and a tailings outlet at the lower end of the column. A draft tube is vertically oriented within the column and has upper and lower open ends.

The CavTube® design is based on hydrodynamic cavitation. This occurs when the pressure in a moving liquid is momentarily reduced below its vapor pressure, creating ultra-fine air or vapor-filled bubbles. These fine bubbles are carried by the flow to a region of higher pressure resulting in a bubble dispersion that resembles fine smoke.
