Flotation of gold and gold-bearing ores
Early work on gold particles with copper sulfate showed no improvement in recovery but an increased rate of flotation of gold (Leaver and Woolf, 1934). More recent laboratory testwork on a refractory gold ore has shown, however, that a 5% increase in free gold flotation recovery is achievable when adding copper sulfate (Teague et al., 1999b).

The flotation of gold-bearing ores is classified according to ore type (i.e. gold ore, gold copper ore, gold antimony ores, etc.), because the flotation methods used for the recovery of gold from different ores is vastly different.
Gold Flotation
Gold flotation is an enrichment method that plays a crucial role in gold mining. This method is particularly employed to separate gold from other minerals in gold ores containing sulfur. The process offers advantages such as high recovery rates, processing efficiency, and the ability to handle mineral diversity.
Diagnosis and Optimization of Gold Ore Flotation Circuit via …
The flotation rate constant was determined based on the bubble–particle interaction, which was dominated by the hydrophobicity of the mineral surface. Therefore, the high flotation rate constants of pyrite and gold were calculated because the hydrophobicity of their surfaces was increased by the thiol-type collectors (KAX, AP3477).
