- Gold Pyrite Froth Flotation Separation
Gold at the Harbour Lights Mine (HLM), WA occurs principally in pyrite (Py) and arsenopyrite (AsPy) minerals rendering it inaccessible to direct cyanidation. Froth flotation produces a concentrate with low mass recovery and with high recoveries of sulfides. After investigating several alternatives, a novel flotation process has been developed to separate the concentrate …

The aim of this study is to diagnose and optimize a closed multistage gold ore flotation circuit in an operational industrial plant. Linear circuit analysis (LCA), a partition-based model, and a mass balance model using flotation first-order kinetics are employed to diagnose the current process. The result shows that the current circuit operates with high recovery but the …

To have a positive control over flotation, it is necessary to be able to determine which and to what degree it is. A cheap way to take this measurement, LITMUS PAPER or a pH METER is used. This is a very important measurement for the flotation operator. Some minerals like Iron pyrite will not float well in an alkaline flotation circuit.

The separation of chalcopyrite and pyite is not fully solved, and thus more efficient depressants are still needed in industry. This paper used potassium permanganate (KMnO4) as a pyrite depressant to separate pyrite from chalcopyrite. Flotation and contact angle results indicated that pyrite could be depressed by KMnO4 at pH 7, while KMnO4-treated chalcopyrite …

To separate galena from pyrite, froth flotation is widely applied. In this process, a special surfactant (i.e., flotation collector) is adopted to improve the surface hydrophobicity of galena. Then, the hydrophobized galena particles adhere on to bubbles which carry them up to pulp interface, leaving other minerals (such as pyrite) in pulp ...

(2019) investigated the effect of pH on covellite and pyrite flotation and found that a high selectivity of covellite flotation against pyrite was achieved when flotation pH was greater than 10 as a result of strong pyrite depression.

In a mixture of galena, sphalerite, pyrite, and quartz, it is generally practicable to float the three useful minerals in succession. In floating copper ores and lead-zinc ores, depression of the iron pyrite is important; but in floating gold-silver ores, the free gold and the iron pyrite are floated.

Arsenopyrite is separated from a mixture with pyrite by contacting the mixture with a sulfitic agent providing HSO3- ions at elevated temperature and pH below about 8 for a period sufficient to impart a selective depression property to the arsenopyrite. On addition of a collector the pyrite is rendered floatable, enabling froth flotation to achieve a concentrate rich in pyrite and tailings ...
