Bob, we used biodiesel and a homemade column flotation unit about 10 feet tall and 8" in diameter. Basically a Jameson type cell. The recovery was, as near as I can determine, based upon the weight of concentrate and the weight of the head ore sample and average assay for this ore was at best 50%.

The present study investigates the implications of gold mineralogy on its flotation recovery, in a typical porphyry copper–gold ore (1.7 g/t Au feed grade). Also, flotation strategies to optimise gold recovery and grade without compromising copper recovery and grade were examined. The approach used in this study involves a …

Until the late 1960s, most of the flotation activity was centered in Canada with gold production coming from flotation treatment of refractory, copper-gold and other complex ore types (Dunne 2005). During the late 1960s flotation of pyrite was a key focus in many South African gold operations to meet the needs of sulfuric acid market from the ...

In Brazil, the application of flotation for gold-bearing ores started in the 1980s (Araujo and Peres, 1995). There are three important Brazilian plants using flotation to process gold ores (Monte et al., 2002). At the São Bento plant, gold and pyrite are floated into a bulk concentrate for further processing by bacterial and pressure leaching.

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.

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.
