The low grade of gold in these ores makes it uneconomical to recover by direct leaching. However, froth flotation has been utilised over the years in pre-concentrating copper and gold for subsequent hydrometallurgical processes (Fuerstenau et al., 2007). Even with this technique, there are still some discrepancies in copper and …

Sulfide Flotation
In the case of mesothermal pyritic gold ores, pyrite and arsenopyrite are sufficiently coarse grained, which allows for good liberation at modest grind fineness (P 80 of 75–120 μm) and results in high-grade concentrates with good recoveries. In some of these ores, submicroscopic gold is exclusively carried by arsenopyrite, which makes separation …
Gold Flotation
GOLD FLOTATION. The flotation process, which is today so extensively used for the concentration of base-metal sulphide ores and is finding increased use in many other fields. In 1932 flotation plants began to be installed for the treatment of gold and silver ores as a substitute for or in conjunction with cyanidation.

In this way, the flotation response can be improved and/or the pH ...
