Sulfide Flotation
Unit flotation cells (Hasting, 1937; Taggart, 1945) and the more recent flash flotation cells (Kalloinen and Tarainen, 1984) are installed in grinding circuits with the purpose of improving the overall flotation recovery of free gold (Taggart, 1945; Suttill, 1990; Laplante and Dunne, 2002). The aim is to remove as much as possible of the free ...

The use of alkaline pressure oxidation to pretreat refractory gold ore often results in insufficient gold recovery (<60%) in downstream thiosulfate leaching. To improve gold recovery, flotation was considered for the separation of carbonaceous matter (C-matter). In this study, the effect of MIBC on C-matter flotation was investigated to …

Coarse particle flotation: A review
Miller et al. (2016) performed a comparative study using gold bearing sulphide ore against a lab-scale mechanical flotation cell. The result shows that a laboratory-scale HydroFloat™ can float 500–800 µm particles with just 1 % surface liberation, and zero particles were reported in the tailings stream with a liberation percentage of more ...

The future of flotation
Unfortunately, the conventional flotation cell achieves high recovery only in limited size ranges. For example, a sulfide ore might float very well at 90 to 120 microns, but not at 50 or 150 microns. The research to date has identified two main reasons for the upper limit on floatable particle sizes.
