Gold Flotation Production Line

[Technology Introduction]: Flotation is the most widely used method for gold beneficiation plants to process rock gold ores. It is often used to process sulfide mineral gold ores with high floatability. The flotation process can maximize the concentration of gold in sulfide minerals, and the tailings can be directly discarded. The beneficiation cost is low. 80% of rock gold mines in my country are selected using this process.International Supplier 

Import from Chinese manufacturer with competitive prices and outstanding quality and excellent performance 

FKN Group Limited

They are the Chinese manufacturer of gold dressing agent and activated carbon. Their gold dressing agent can replace sodium cynaide completely. The use and the process of our product is completely the same as sodium cynaide. No matter whether you are using heap leaching or carbon in pulp(CIP)/ carbon in leaching(CIL), pond leaching, tank leaching or vat leaching, our product can be used in the same scenarios.

In addition, they are a one-stop solution gold mining provider for chemicals and equipment including sodium cynaide, zinc dust, gold extraction resin, floation reagents and other chemicals, mining machines and analysis equipment. For more information, please visit the website: https://www.golddressingagent.com email liu-liming@fknmed.com and ask for the complete catalogue.

【Application fields】: Gold flotation process is suitable for processing sulfide gold-bearing quartz vein ores with fine gold particles and high floatability, as well as polymetallic gold-bearing sulfide ores and carbon (graphite) ores.

Process introduction

Gold flotation process

The flotation of gold minerals generally adopts a one-stage grinding-flotation process. For ores with uneven particle size, a stage grinding-flotation process can be adopted. my country generally adopts a one-stage grinding-flotation process to achieve the enrichment of useful minerals.

 

Gold ore grinding fineness requirements

The requirements for gold ore grinding fineness, generally speaking, for gold encapsulated in sulfide minerals, only the sulfide ore monomer dissociation is required, but for gold associated with gangue, the grinding fineness needs to reach the gold monomer dissociation. At the same time, the grinding fineness of a certain mineral is determined by experiments.

 

Gold flotation pulp concentration requirements

The principle of gold flotation is: when flotating high-density, coarse-grained minerals, a thicker pulp is often used; on the contrary, when flotating low-density, fine-grained minerals and slime, a thinner pulp is used. The use of thicker pulp for roughing can ensure a higher recovery rate, and the use of thinner concentration for fine finishing is conducive to improving the quality of the concentrate.

 

Other process conditions

In addition to the grinding fineness, the process conditions that affect gold flotation also include pulp concentration, flotation agent dosage, aeration volume, flotation time, etc., which all need to be determined by experiment. In general, the flotation agents needed in the flotation process of gold ore are: collectors, activators, frothers, etc. Collectors are used to promote gold floating, activators are used to increase the floating speed of gold ore, and frothers are used to increase the number of flotation bubbles.

 

Changing the original gold ore flotation process to a staged grinding and flotation process is easier to operate and allows for early and quick collection of useful minerals in ores with higher impurities. Adjusting the structure of the flotation machine improves the sorting environment and the mineralization effect of the flotation slurry, ensuring stable indicators and smooth processes.
