The role of gold beneficiation reagents cannot be underestimated. More than 85% of the world's gold ore is mainly extracted by cyanidation. However, the use of a variety of reagents mixed and added into gold beneficiation is mainly to improve the effect of flotation gold selection. Gold beneficiation reagents are important auxiliary materials …
The technological processing flowsheet for gold-bearing ores varies widely. The choice of a particular technological flowsheet depends on several factors, including the nature of the gold in the ore, especially its size and chemical composition, the nature of the minerals associated with the gold, the presence of other valuable components in the …
Process Development Considering the different gold minerals present alone or combined with the host rock, it will be necessary to discharge the unwanted material in order to increase the concentration of gold in an economically manner. This part treats the strategy of beneficiation as a combination of several processes. Joining …
Hard rock gold deposits can be further classified into three sub classes: free milling, sulfide associated and refractory. Free-Milling Gold. Gold ore is considered free-milling when over 90% of the gold can be recovered by a conventional gravity-cyanidation process with low reagent consumptions at a grind size of 80% passing 75 µm.
Commercial development of the carbon-in-pulp (CIP) process in the early 1980s constituted a further step change, accounting for an increase in gold production from 1220 tons in 1980 to 2180 tons in 1990, as shown in Figure 55.1(a).This almost doubling in the production of gold over 10 years is remarkable, and is attributable to the now …
