07/11/2017 Although gold readily and naturally forms a hydrophobic film, dithiophosphates have been advanced as more selective for gold than xanthates and float gold up to 200 micron in size despite its density. Our initial investigations in the mechanical flotation cell were with a wide variety of samples, including beach sands and alluvium. The more definitive work with the ASH and the flotation
More28/02/2016 Feed for the hot leach process consisted of old plant tailings containing extractable levels of gold. While column and conventional flotation results were again similar, the flotation column required 30 to 50 pct less reagent than conventional flotation. Furthermore, corrections to circuit operation were 3 times more rapid in the column than in the mechanical cell. This resulted in lower losses when flotation problems were encountered. Also, adjustment of column
More23/07/2014 Because of the surfactant, the gold is repelled by the water into the air bubbles, which rise to the top – creating a bubbly gold foam. The froth is removed from the top of the cell creating concentrated gold, while the flotation tailings at the bottom of the tank are disposed of. Thanks to froth flotation, miners and refiners are able to extract quality minerals from ore at lower grades than has
MoreIn the flotation cell an agitated slurry is aerated by introducing a cloud of air bubbles that are typically about a millimeter in size. The agitation of the slurry is sufficient to keep the solid particles in suspension although the suspension is usually not uniform with the larger heavier particles tending to remain in the lower parts of the cell. The rising bubbles can and do collide with ...
