For froth flotation, the ground ore is mixed with water to form a slurry and the desired mineral is rendered hydrophobic by the addition of a surfactant or collector chemical (although some mineral surfaces are naturally hydrophobic, requiring little or no addition of collector). The particular chemical depends on the nature of the mineral to be …

The froth flotation technique was originally developed in about 1910 to raise the copper concentrations of the strip-mined ores of Bingham Canyon, near Salt Lake City [9], and was further perfected for the differential separation of lead, zinc, and iron sulfides at Trail, B.C., at about the same time [10].

Native gold and electrum are naturally-occurring alloys containing gold and silver and a little copper. They are the most common and important forms of gold in ores. Their recovery by gravity concentration, cyanidation, or flotation from ores, typically containing 0.1–20 g/t Au is of great commercial importance.

Generally, gold ores can be classified into two categories: the 'free milling' and 'refractory' ores. Free milling ores are those that require only conventional physical pre-treatment, such as grinding and sulfide flotation, to liberate the free gold and obtain a concentrate for further cyanidation.

If it is the former then there are opportunities to optimize flotation. If it is the latter then you need to look at finer grinding. I'm sure there are dozen of other things to consider, and the 911 met team can help, but don't make flotation any more complicated than it needs to be. I hope this helps. Best Regards. Andrew

Froth flotation works by exploiting the hydrophobic properties of gold molecules. First, ore is ground into an extremely fine powder. The powdered ore is mixed with water to create a slurry, which is mixed with surfactants to increase the gold's hydrophobicity. This mixture is placed into a large tank filled with distilled water.
