In this study, the flotation behaviors of gold and gold-associated sulfide minerals (pyrite and sphalerite) in a polymetallic sulfide gold ore were investigated using flotation kinetics parameters. It was found that high gold recovery (>90%) can be achieved by the selective flotation of pyrite and sphalerite.

Gold and electrum occur in a wide variety of ores in a wide spread of sizes ranging from large lumps (nuggets) to fine particles (0.1 μm) to even finer sizes below …
Flotation of Gold and Gold-Bearing Ores
The influence of ore mineralogy and operating conditions on gold flotation response is discussed. Flotation circuits in commercial gold concentrators are described, along with modern plant practice for various ore types, including refractory gold, arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite, pyrite, telluride, and copper–gold ores.
Copper Gold Sulfide Ore
Grinding the ore to minus 100-mesh gave satisfactory liberation of the minerals. Standard flotation procedure with potassium ethyl xanthate, cresylic acid, and lime produced good-grade copper concentrates with over 85 percent recovery of copper and about 60 percent recoveries of gold and silver.
Sulphide Gold Ore Treatment by Leaching and Flotation Process
Problem with gold recovery from sulphide ore: How may a mill get the maximum recovery of gold from a sulphide ore, at the least capital cost and at the same time obtain the highest net return.This latter point is most important. In many cases a gold mill using an all-cyanide flowsheet with fine grinding of all the ore will report very low …
