摘要
This paper is a summary, of the author's industrial experiences on the selection and optimization of flotation reagent schemes for the recovery, of gold species. The trends given are a composite of data and experiences gained on 24 different gold ores from around the globe. The primary, emphasis is on the benefits of matching the associated gold mineralogy to a reagent scheme most appropriate for that mineralogy. Two general categories are discussed: the flotation of free or native gold species and the flotation of gold associated with a variety of sulfide minerals. Important plant operating factors influencing each of these two categories ape presented with supporting examples. Carefully matching reagent chemistry and appropriate operating conditions to any given gold-bearing ore will not only lower the total reagent cost but, more importantly: can lead to measurable increases in gold recovery.
