Pilot and full scale column flotation experiments were carried out, and interrelated work parameters of the column were obtained. The optimum work parameters are as follows: the superficial velocity of the feed 0.27 cm/s and the superficial velocity of air 1.57 cm/s. The recovery of WO3 reaches 43.41% with an average grade of 24.52%, and the enrichment ratio reaches 35.03. The recoveries of three different size fraction, 5−10 μm, 10−19 μm and 19−38 μm, all reach 65%. Sauter diameter of the bubbles in the column is
