First, refractory gold ore is ground as finely as possible – usually so the individual grains are much less that 100 micrometers. The ground up ore is mixed with water to create a slurry, which is mixed with surfactants to increase the gold's hydrophobicity. This mixture is placed into a tank or flotation cell filled with distilled water.

Gas hold-up is the volume fraction of air within a flotation cell. Increasing gas hold-up values, to a certain point, results in improved flotation kinetics due to a greater number of bubbles per unit volume (Ahmed and Jameson, 1989). However, values greater than 30% indicate reduced cell capacity and thus reduces the cell residence time.

The full-scale REFLUX™ Flotation Cell, which is shown in Fig. 3, had an internal diameter of about 2 m. The upper vertical section had a height of about 1.6 m and the inclined channels were nominally 1.0 m long, with a 20 mm spacing and an inclination of 70° to the horizontal. As discussed, the feed slurry entered through an air sparger ...

1. Introduction. Froth flotation is the largest tonnage separation in mineral processing by which valuable mineral is separated from waste rock. Advances in control and optimisation of the froth flotation process are of great relevance since even very small increases in recovery lead to large economic benefits (Ferreira and Loveday, 2000, …

Froth flotation works by exploiting the hydrophobic properties of gold molecules. First, ore is ground into an extremely fine powder. The powdered ore is mixed with water to create a slurry, which is mixed with surfactants to increase the gold's hydrophobicity. This mixture is placed into a large tank filled with distilled water.

Flotation is also the best method for recovery of gold from base metal ores and gold-containing PGM ores. Excluding gravity preconcentration, flotation remains the most cost-effective bene ficiation method. Gold itself is a rare metal and the average grades for low-grade deposits vary between 3 and 6 ppm.

Flotation Cells (Froth Flotation) were developed to separate and recover high value Sulphide ores from low grade ore bodies. The ore is crushed and milled at the concentrator in a process known as comminution, where the mineral is in suspension in slurry. The particle size for mineral being recovered is generally less than <0.1mm.

The opposite happens with decreasing frother concentration and gas hold-up. Therefore, as frother concentration-changes occur below the CCC, there is a significant change in flotation kinetics. The x-axis (gas hold-up) can be thought of as the 'gas pedal' in flotation and will reflect the combined influences of both frother and air rate.
