Flotation of Gold and Gold-Bearing Ores
Pyrrhotite floats best in acid circuits. The pH range for flotation for gold sulfide ores containing pyrite and arsenopyrite is generally between 7 and 9. Flotation may be carried out at higher pH values of 9–10, since this favors the depression of talc minerals and avoids the use of expensive gangue depressants.
