Separation efficiency improvement of a low grade …
The recovery of gold-containing pyrite to the copper concentrate is encouraged to achieve a higher total gold recovery provided that a saleable copper concentrate grade is still produced. Mineralogical diagnosis of feed and product streams from the copper flotation circuit have shown that the copper bearing minerals are well liberated
Flotation | SpringerLink
Flotation process is one of the most important process factors, which has great influence on beneficiating index. The flotation process must adapt to the nature of the treated materials, and different processes should be adopted for different materials. Reasonable process flow should ensure the best beneficiating index and the lowest …
