اقرأ أكثر1. Introduction. The flotation process is a separation technique primarily used in mineral processing for the recovery of minerals (Wills and Finch, 2016), that also finds application in other industrial processes such as wastewater treatment and paper recycling (Saththasivam et al., 2016, Vashisth et al., 2011).Separation of mineral particles by …
اقرأ أكثرThe presence of gold in porphyry copper ores may require specific flotation strategies to ensure optimum recovery of both Au and Cu, which may differ according to gold mineralogy. Native gold generally floats well with the collectors used for the Cu sulphides (e.g., xanthates, dithiophosphates). However, when Au is mineralogically …
اقرأ أكثرThe aim of the testwork was to optimise the free gold recovery by; (1) enhancing the copper and gold recovery into a copper concentrate and (2) floating the gold away from the copper sulphides and pyrite. The ore was crushed to -2 mm and ground in a stainless steel laboratory rod mill to a p80 of 106 ~tm for the flotation tests.
