The flotation of gold bearing ores — A review
Abstract. The practice of the flotation of pure gold and gold-bearing ores such as tellurides, aurostibite, kerogen, pyrite, pyrrhotite, copper-gold ores and mixed sulphides is reviewed. The factors which influence the choice of collectors, pH and Eh, are discussed as well as the application of differential flotation.

Processing Gold Ore by Flotation
GOLD RECOVERY BY FLOTATION. A test on a sample, crushed to pass a screen of 120 holes per linear inch, containing $37 gold and 4.8% copper, gave a recovery by flotation alone of 90% of the gold and 98.5% of the copper, but left $8 gold in the tailing. The concentrate carried 44% insoluble matter, which could be reduced by re …

Optimization and mechanism of gold-bearing sulfide flotation
In order to overcome the difficulty of extracting gold from gold-bearing sulfide ore by cyanide process, flotation was adopted based on mineralogical analysis. Mineralogy shows that gold particles are of superfine structure and mainly enclosed by sulfide ores. Primary gold-bearing sulfide ore is fine-grained pyrite and arsenopyrite. The paper …
