ادامه مطلب1. Background. The application of flotation on a reasonable scale within the gold-mining industry commenced in the early 1930s following the introduction of water-soluble flotation collectors (specifically xanthates and dithiophosphate collectors) that allowed differential flotation of sulfide minerals (Weinig and Carpenter, 1937, Rabone, …

ادامه مطلبGold losses during flotation often occur within the fines fraction, which has been an ongoing issue that has challenged the gold mining industry. Subsequently, operations will attempt to coarsen up the primary grind to reduce the fine gold (free gold or sulphide gold) generation, resulting from over grinding. Under-grinding can then to lead to gold losses …
