Abstract
The invention relates to a method for improving the operation of a flotation cell line, said flotation cell line comprising several flotation cells (1, 2, 3, 4, 5; 11, 12, 13, 14, 15) that are connected by means of liquid stream flow. According to the invention, at least part of the material flotated in the flotation cell line is conducted past the cell (1, 11) that is located first in the flotation cell line, when seen in the flowing direction (7, 16) of the flotatable material.
