Gold ore flotation process
The theoretical basis of various gold flotation processes is roughly the same, that is, gold ore particles can aggregate at the liquid-gas or water-oil interface due to the hydrophobic properties of their own surfaces or the hydrophobic properties obtained by flotation reagents. The most widely used method is froth flotation . The ore is crushed and pulverized to dissociate various minerals into individual particles, and make the particle size meet the requirements of the flotation process. Various flotation agents are added to the milled pulp and mixed and mixed to interact with the mineral particles to expand the floatability difference between different mineral particles. The adjusted gold ore pulp is sent to the flotation cell, stirred and aerated. The ore particles in the slurry contact and collide with the air bubbles, and the ore particles with good floatability selectively adhere to the air bubbles and are carried up to form a mineralized foam layer composed of gas-liquid-soli
