The result is a high gold-grade feed to the precious-metals plants. The same can be said for the gold in copper–nickel concentrates and PGM concentrates. Gold in lead concentrates, although low in tenor, follows silver closely to the bullion into the Parkes concentrate or the anodic slimes, and is therefore well recovered.
The aim of the testwork was to optimise the free gold recovery by; (1) enhancing the copper and gold recovery into a copper concentrate and (2) floating the …

It may be beneficial for those circuits where free gold is present, to involve selective flotation of the free gold to improve the overall gold recovery. A problem with copper-gold ores is the high cyanide consumption. A better option is to float a copper- gold concentrate and sell this to a smelter.

Froth flotation is a physicochemical process that is used to separate fine mineral particles from aqueous suspensions by selective attachment of some types of minerals to air bubbles. Froth flotation is the most important mineral processing technology for the production of valuable mineral concentrates from which metals and minerals are …
Selective Flotation: The classifier overflow is treated in a conventional manner using "Sub-A'' Flotation Machines of cell-to-cell design which enables double cleaning of the silver-lead and zinc concentrates without the need of pumps. For large tonnage operations the "Sub – A" Free Flow Machine is optional for roughing and ...
Similarly, in a copper or lead ore carrying gold associated with pyrite, it might be profitable to make an iron concentrate containing the gold. If the gold and …
The PLATSOL ® process may also offer a non-cyanide process treatment option for recovery of copper and gold from copper–gold and gold–copper concentrates. Ferron et al. (2002) reported on batch laboratory testing of a copper–gold concentrate and a refractory gold–silver concentrate under PLATSOL ® conditions.
Copper–gold ores. Copper–gold ores are significant contributors to the overall world gold production. Flotation is the principal process for pre-concentration of the copper–gold minerals for subsequent smelting treatment. Gold recovery, although important, is not always considered when optimizing the copper circuit.
Gold grains are observed in a variety of forms, such as coarse-liberated native gold grains, and ultra-fine grains associated with sulfide or non-sulfide mineral particles, in the form of solid solution in sulfide minerals, mainly pyrite. In the flotation of gold ores, bulk sulfide mineral flotation is generally applied to maximize gold recovery. …
Globally, copper, silver, and gold orebody grades have been dropping, and the mineralogy surrounding them has become more diversified and complex. The cyanidation process for gold production …
The flotation of gold-bearing ores is classified according to ore type (i.e. gold ore, gold copper ore, gold antimony ores, etc.), because the flotation methods used for the recovery of gold from different ores is vastly different. 17.2 GEOLOGY AND GENERAL MINERALOGY OF GOLD-BEARING ORES
Silver is often associated with lead-zinc ore, copper ore, gold ore, and limonite, and is mainly produced by flotation.The silver intercalation in its silver-bearing minerals is fine and complex in size, and combined beneficiation methods such as flotation-cyanidation and gravity separation-flotation are often used.. JXSC will customize complete silver …
A great amount of work has been published and further research is continuously being undertaken to improve recovery and grade of gold in copper flotation circuits (Agorhom, 2014, Allan and Woodcock, 2001).Furthermore, naturally occurring elements such as fluorine, uranium and arsenic often occur in copper ores as minor or …
