Gold flotation is widely used in the case of refractory ores, in which small-sized gold particles, locked within sulfide minerals, are recovered through flotation of gold-bearing minerals (Marsden and House, 2006). It is also an effective means for separating free gold from silicate particles present in ore.
The FLOTATION PROCESS is one of the commonest methods of extracting the valuable minerals from certain classes of ores, and it is generally more efficient as regards the recovery of the minerals than any other process applicable to the treatment of similar types of ores. The metallic contents of the minerals are recovered from the …

The main flotation processes of gold ore are one roughing process, one cleaning process, and two scavenging processes A flow chart of the flotation process is shown in Figure 1. The gold concentrate obtained from the flotation process is reground and classified, and then enters the cyanidation operation.
Gold-containing ore processing technology has been developed by using chemical, X-ray phase, mineralogical, X-ray fluorescence analyses. The results of experiments on the gold recovery from a concentrate with a particle size of 10 and 4 µm are presented, including options for direct cyanidation without preliminary oxygen oxidation, …

Abstract The flowchart is developed for gold ore flotation at the reduced impurity of the rougher flotation product with difficult middlings. The rougher flotation concentrate is subjected to scavenging by aerated air and hot steam mixture. In cold pulp slurry, the steam condensation heat is removed from bubbles to wetting films. With …
It is obvious that the most suitable treatment for ores carrying gold and silver associated with pyrite and other iron sulphides, arsenopyrite or stibnite, will depend on the type of association. Cyanidation is usually the most suitable process, but it often necessitates grinding ore to a fine size …
copper-gold ores (higher copper than gold values) the process route is typically flotation and smelting. In the latter case, gold credits are obtained from smelting the copper concentrates and if gold reports to the flotation tailings, they may also require cyanidation which can prove problematic with cyanide soluble copper.
