عرض المزيدConsequently, gold flotation recovery requires a focus on floating the associated base metals (predominantly lead, copper) and often pyrite minerals. While lime is often used in base sulphide mineral flotation, because excess lime also tends to depress gold flotation, a balance must be maintained between good base metal metallurgy and gold ...

عرض المزيدPyrite and galena flotation with KEX had recoveries greater than 90% for each mineral (pH = 8). After adding chitosan (0.67 mg/L), the pyrite recovery decreased to 23% (pH 4−9). In a flotation with mixtures of pyrite and galena, the recovery of galena was much higher than separately, concluding that chitosan is preferentially adsorbed on pyrite.
