Pre-19th century placer mining operations used mercury to dissolve the gold in crushed ore, making it easier to recover. Later innovations include the MacArthur-Forrest Process and borax flux extraction. However, one of the most interesting methods is froth flotation. Froth flotation works by exploiting the hydrophobic properties of gold molecules.

In copper–gold ore flotation, the choice of collector is often optimised for copper minerals rather than gold. The occurrence of both native gold and electrum (Au–Ag) in copper ores further complicates the selection of collectors for recovering both copper minerals and gold.

Gold itself is a rare metal and the average grades for low grade deposits vary between 3 and 6 p.p.m. Gold occurs predominantly in its native form in sili-cate veins, alluvial and placer deposits or encap-sulated in sulRdes. Other common occurrences of gold are alloys with copper, tellurium, antimony, selenium, PGMs and silver. In massive ...

Who would think that Selective Flotation of copper, gold, zinc or any metal would required that one must be able to feel pain and recognized and/or admit when it hurts. Flotation mass-pull is a process that is often misunderstood; a learner's mistake made by non-operating types.. You do not need to pump anything in the lab.. In selective flotation, less is more!

polymetallic ores, porphyry copper ores, and refractory gold ores [5, 6]. For polymetallic ores, sulfi de minerals are often recovered together with gold and silver by bulk flotation and are later separated from the flotation concentrate by leaching or smelting [7].

In order to overcome the difficulty of extracting gold from gold-bearing sulfide ore by cyanide process, flotation was adopted based on mineralogical analysis. Mineralogy shows that gold particles are of superfine structure and mainly enclosed by sulfide ores. Primary gold-bearing sulfide ore is fine-grained pyrite and arsenopyrite. The paper describes the effects of ratios …
