In mining, when flotation is finished with the ore, and a final concentrate has been produced, often, both products will go to a concentrate thickener before it is dried for shipping. This is a very important step so here we discuss Basic Concentrate Thickener Operation.

DetailsAlternatively using soda ash for pH adjustment can reduce gold depression. Where gold is associated with pyrite in base metal ores where iron sulphides are depressed and report to the tailings, a separate tailings pyrite flotation concentrate should be considered. Producing a pyrite concentrate with associated gold maximizes gold recovery.

DetailsThe gold is refractory to direct cyanidation but potentially economic concentrations of enargite–luzonite are contained in the ores. Thus, the ores have been beneficiated by flotation, recovering the gold and copper in a collective concentrate destined for further processing via pyrometallurgy (Ghiani et al., 2000, Curreli et al., 2005 ...
DetailsSome gold flotation pulps may contain humic and tannin substances (organic decay products from wood and vegetation) ... The flotation concentrate is filtered, bagged and sent to a smelter (Bried et al., 2000). There are six gold mines in the Australasian region that treat refractory gold ores. The largest of these is the Porgera …
DetailsThe concentrate from the flotation procedure was processed using different preoxidation methods. A concentrate containing 34.08g/t of gold with the gold recovery ratio of 81.20% was obtained by flotation. After roasting, microwave heating or alkaline pressure oxidation, the gold cyanidation ratio reached 82.37%, 81.26% and 71.09% respectively ...
