In addition to the cyanide circuit, gold leach residue is treated in a flotation stage to recover un-leached silver (Argentite) minerals. This circuit is followed by a small cyanidation circuit for recovery of silver (and remaining gold) from the flotation concentrate. Precipitated gold and silver are refined in an induction furnace to produce ...
There are several gold deposits that contain economic quantities of copper generally as sulfides and, in particular, chalcopyrite in the ore. In some cases, flotation is used to produce a concentrate containing the gold (silver) and copper. These concentrates are generally sold to copper smelters for recovery of the gold and copper.
Jeffrey et al. (2008b) also reported gold recoveries of >95% from a pressure-oxidized flotation sulfide concentrate. In this work, an integrated RIP process was tested, using a gold thiosulfate process incorporating a novel sulfite-enhanced chloride-based elution of gold from the resin, together with electrowinning of gold, and recycle of ...

Ultra-fine grinding (UFG) of a flotation concentrate (90% < 10 μm) increased gold extraction from 80% to 94% (Liddell and Dunne, 1989). Jackman and Sarbutt (1990) published a paper on the recovery of gold from a telluride concentrate. …
When gold is recovered by flotation, a high grade concentrate contains gold and can give an extra value to copper and lead concentrates. The concentrate can be ground, roasted, treated by cyanidation and the final …
The material will undergo processing in a SAB mill followed by copper rougher flotation, concentrate regrinding, and two-stage cleaning. The cleaned material will be thickened and filtered to produce a copper concentrate. Phase 1 will produce copper concentrate at 31kt average contained copper and 87koz average contained gold.
The flowsheet in this study was designed to treat 500 tons per day of a complex base metal ore containing gold and silver values. The presence of free gold ... is combined with the lead-copper flotation concentrate in the thickener. Sampling. Automatic Samplers are used to sample the feed, lead-copper concentrate, zinc concentrate, and final ...
Based on the two mountains theory and the research hotspots of microbubble flotation of fine gold particles, the innovation experiment of microbubble flotation of cyanide tailings is designed. ... In the closed circuit experiment, a gold concentrate with gold grade of 25.40 g/t and gold recovery of 71.91% is obtained by the process of one ...
Generally, gold ores can be classified into two categories: the 'free milling' and 'refractory' ores. Free milling ores are those that require only conventional physical pre-treatment, such as grinding and sulfide flotation, to liberate the free gold and obtain a …
The residual gold in the flotation concentrate is processed on the spot by cyanidation and carbon-in-pulp. The ore-processing plant of the Soremib mine Pour a (Burkina Faso) has now been in uninterrupted operation for 3 years. Ores from the oxidized and non-oxidized zones of the deposit are processed together in one flotation unit.
The Kansanshi copper-gold mine, located near Solwezi in the North-Western province of Zambia, has been the flagship operation of First Quantum Minerals (FQM) since it was brought into production in 2005. ... Sulphide ore is treated via crushing, milling, and flotation to produce copper concentrate, whilst mixed ore is treated through a similar ...
Then, C = F (c1 — c5)/(c2 — c5) = tons copper concentrate and similarly, Z = (F — C) (z5 — z4) / (z3 — z4)= tons zinc concentrate. It is decided to take a copper tail (zinc feed) sample in order to provide a check on the results calculated in the previous example.
The ores from which silver and gold are recoverable by flotation divide themselves naturally into two general processing classes: ... followed by cyanidation of the flotation concentrate reground to 325 mesh to release the values. A plant with a capacity of 2,000 tons per day is now in successful operation. The ore is ground to 65 mesh, 55% ...
The Outokumpu flash flotation concept as an approach for precious metals recovery. Concerns were: ... A 36% copper concentrate with 7.2 ppm (0.27 oz/t) gold was produced for a 34% copper recovery and 13% gold recovery. Other tests had gold recovery as high as 45%. Concern 1 (metallurgy) was alleviated. ...
