This complete process plant is for recovering gold by gravity concentration and froth flotation. This commonly applies, but is not limited to, ore deposits containing GRG gold and sulphide minerals rich in gold (such as: Pyrite, Copper). This process will also recover silver associated with sulphide minerals.

3.1 Bench Flotation Tests. Figure 1 presents the Au grade (g/t) in the rougher tailings for eight flotation tests, with flotation times of 4, 8, and 20 min. For each test, the highest gold losses in the tailings were obtained at a flotation time of 4 min, ranging from 1 to 2 g/t and the lowest values were obtained at a flotation time of 20 min, with values from 0.5 to 1.4 g/t.

Most gold deposits occur associated with sulphides like pyrite and arsenopyrite; thus, precious metal dissolution is possible by oxidizing auriferous sulfide concentrate using simultaneous pressure oxidation and cyanidation. The effectiveness of this process of extraction can be influenced by the temperature, cyanide (NaCN) concentration, and oxygen pressure. In …
