Silver Gold Recovery Flotation Process

The ores from which silver and gold are recoverable by flotation divide themselves naturally into two general processing classes: ores in which the valuable minerals are those of the base metals, the precious metals being incidental constituents, and ores in which the gold and silver are of primary importance, the base-metal minerals, if present, being of little or no value.

Compare Flotation Machines Types

In the 1950s, the opinion was often expressed that the mechanically-agitated machine forms the best rougher and a pneumatic machine the best cleaner, the reason being that the former type has come to be regarded as one that yields a heavily-mineralized froth, which, though giving a good recovery of the minerals, is likely to be of low grade because of

Flotation Conditioning

Flotation Conditioning is often necessary as it is not sufficient merely to make the addition of the various reagents to the pulp and then to proceed with flotation. Intimate admixture is essential in order not only to bring about their even dissemination throughout the pulp but also to ensure that the millions of particles of varying nature shall each receive

Bowl Classifiers

The bowl classifier incorporates a two-stage baffled-return separating action, and it consists of a straight classifier with the usual reciprocating rakes, upon which is superimposed at the lower end a shallow circular bowl with a revolving rake mechanism. The general construction of the Dorr Bowl Classifier is shown in Fig. 20. The feed enters at the centre of the bowl,

French Crushability & French Abrasion Index

The french crushability and french abrasion test gives an abrasivity index and a crushability index that will rate the material in comparison with other materials. The french abrasion test is mainly used to estimate hammer wear life in impactor applications. The crushability index is a measure of how easily the material breaks down. The test also includes the specific gravity
