These consist of zinc and iron sulfide depressants which are added to the grind and a collector and frother for the lead-copper sulfides. The zinc is floated with additional quantities of a collector and frother after conditioning with lime and copper sulfate. The pH of the lead circuit is approximately 8.0 and the zinc is 10.5 to 11.0.
Flotation performance of gold-bearing pyrite in refractory gold ores depend upon the interplay among process water chemistry, grinding chemistry, and ore mineralogy. The nature of pyrite itself (finely disseminated reactive pyrite vs. low reactivity) also plays a role in its surface reactivity.

1. Crushing and Grinding: Crushing and fine-grinding the gold-bearing ore into the appropriate particle size for better separation of gold in the subsequent flotation process. 2. Flotation: The finely ground ore slurry is mixed with a flotation agent. The flotation agent type and amount will be selected according to the specific ore properties.
Gold Flotation Process. 1. Crushing System. The rock gold is fed to the rough jaw crusher by a trough feeder to crush. And then delivered to the fine jaw crusher for second crushing. 2. Grinding System. After the crushing, the gold ore sends to the ball mill to grind. The output material of the ball mill (<1mm) goes to the spiral classifier for ...
The flotation column was developed for the improved recovery of fine particles too, and is finding commercial application. It embodies principles which are, with modification, appropriate for the flotation of gold from coarse dense sands. A small laboratory column, 1 m high by 50 mm in diameter (Figure 2), was constructed.
Flotation. According to the difference in physicochemical properties of mineral particle surfaces, flotation is the method that selectively enriches the target minerals in the pulp at the gas-liquid interface and separates them from the pulp, thus realizing the mineral separation. It is also known as floating separation.
The data required for the development of the models was obtained from plant surveys of the Kanowna Belle gold mine and laboratory batch grinding and flotation tests.The model accurately represents ...
Introduction. In porphyry/skarn copper–gold flotation plants gold recovery is often well below copper recovery [1]. With liberated and copper-associated gold readily recovered in the flotation stage, this recovery difference is often due in part to operating strategies that require rejection of gold-bearing iron sulphide gangue minerals in order to …
The sulfides are separated by means of a flotation circuit and that resulting concentrate is subjected to a regrind of below 20 μm to enable a greater liberation of the gold. The …
Introduction: The flotation machine is important for realizing the flotation process. It can process metal or non-metal minerals, such as copper, lead-zinc, lithium, antimony, fluorite, talc, etc. After the minerals undergo wet grinding, the minerals dissociated into monomers are adjusted into a slurry of a certain concentration.

A 100 lb. representative sample of the ball mill feed is sufficient for the unit cell flotation tests. Flotation in a Grinding Circuit. The simplest flotation circuit is a comparatively recent innovation. It consists of the introduction of a flotation cell into the grinding circuit between ball mill and classifier as shown below.

This study addresses a widespread problem confronting the mining industry: the deleterious effect of clay minerals in flotation. This problem is seemingly exacerbated by the presence of iron contamination from grinding media. The interaction of clay minerals and grinding media in copper and gold flotation was investigated in this study. A low-clay ore and a …
