Flotation is a widely used beneficiation method in gold beneficiation plants. It is often used to treat gold-containing sulfide minerals with high floatability, and flotation of gold into copper and lead concentrates, and then from these concentrates. Gold extraction is therefore an economical and reasonable process for gold ore containing non-ferrous metals in the original ore. It can realize the comprehensive utilization of polymetals and enrich gold into sulfide minerals as much as possible.

In order to improve the return on investment, for different properties of ores, the combined beneficiation process of flotation process and other processes can sometimes achieve more impressive results.

The gold ore beneficiation method is often used to process gold ore containing gold-bearing quartz veins and gold-bearing pyrite ore veins. Generally, xanthate is used as collector, pine alcohol oil is used as foaming agent, and weak alkaline pulp is flotated in flotation machine to obtain gold concentrate. Then the flotation concentrate is cyanidated and leached, the gold is dissolved by cyanide, the complex enters the solution, and then replaced with zinc powder to obtain gold mud, and finally the gold mud is pyro-smelted to obtain pure gold.

For vein gold ore with high arsenic and sulfur content or high carbon content mud, gold-containing sulfide concentrate can be obtained by flotation, and then the flotation concentrate is leached with thiourea to recover gold.
Thiourea method for gold extraction is a new low-toxicity gold extraction process that is improving day by day. Thiourea acid solution has high speed of dissolving gold and silver, low toxicity and easy regeneration. Mineral components such as antimony, arsenic, copper, and sulfur are not sensitive to thiourea gold extraction, but will affect cyanidation gold extraction. Therefore, thiourea leaching can extract gold and silver from gold-bearing mineral ore that is refractory to cyanidation. At the same time, the gold leaching time of thiourea is generally much shorter than that of cyanide leaching.

For the flotation concentrate with high arsenic and sulfur content, after the cyanide tailings are flotated, impurities such as sulfur, iron, and arsenic are enriched into the concentrate to become a refractory high-sulfur and high-arsenic concentrate, which cannot be directly cyanide. During chemical leaching, the flotation gold concentrate can be oxidized and roasted first to remove arsenic and sulfur, so that the calcined sand has a loose structure after roasting, which is more conducive to the leaching of gold and silver. Subsequently, using high acid pretreatment and washing, most of the impurities are dissolved by acid and removed by washing, which ensures the cyanidation leaching rate and effectively enriches the gold grade.

Gold ore resources are very precious. In order to select ores more reasonably, the gold ore beneficiation process is very important. If you want to select gold from gold ore in a more economical and environmentally friendly way, you should first conduct a beneficiation test, comprehensively analyze the properties of the ore, and obtain a scientific beneficiation test report, so as to judge which gold beneficiation process method to use, and comprehensively consider The beneficiation plan is determined after the actual situation, investment and other factors of the gold ore dressing plant to achieve an ideal return on investment.
