In this, as in all other phases of flotation, each ore presents an individual problem and must be so studied. It was describe by the use of 600 series of flotation reagents which were developed primarily for the purpose of depressing carbonaceous and siliceous slimes in the flotation of' gold ores. Carbonaceous material not only greatly ...
اقرأ المزيدSix flotation tests were conducted using the copper–gold ore and its mixtures with quartz, clay minerals and gypsum. Fig. 1 shows the mass recovery as a function of water recovery from these tests. As can be seen, flotation of the ore or baseline resulted in a 5% mass recovery and 31% water recovery at the completion of flotation.

اقرأ المزيدThe next reagent that is added is the Flotation FROTHER.The frother strengthens the surface tension of the air that is injected into the flotation cell. As the air rises in the shape of bubbles, they come into contact with the mineral laden collector which attaches itself to the air.
اقرأ المزيدIt stays as a metal and falls to the bottom of the cell as an "anode sludge" together with any unreactive material left over from the ore. The anode sludge will contain valuable metals such as silver and gold. Metals above copper in the electrochemical series (like zinc) will form ions at the anode and go into solution.

اقرأ المزيدIn recent years, with the development of material processing technology, composite material with a low wettability can be used to make porous media, however, the application of this in the mineral flotation industry still needs to be further explored.
اقرأ المزيدMost methods of water-based gold extraction are dependent on gold's lack of buoyancy to work. However, froth flotation uses a different property of gold to separate it from ore. Froth flotation is a method for separating hydrophobic materials (which will not mix with water) from hydrophilic materials (which readily mix with water).
