Recovering Gold through the Froth Flotation Process

Driven by gold's inherent value and relative rarity, mining technology has continuously evolved to use ore more efficiently and extract every molecule of gold possible. One of the earliest methods for extracting gold, salt cementation, was perfected by the Lydian Empire during the Iron Age.Pre-19th century placer mining operations used mercury to dissolve the …

Flotation kinetics of a pyritic gold ore

Flotation kinetics of a pyritic gold ore was studied with respect to particle size. Gold recovery increased by 4% with grinding from a P 80 of 205 microns to 53 microns. Second order kinetics is a much better representation of semi-batch flotation. The first order flotation rate constant is independent of particle size in this range. The second order flotation rate constant …
