Flotation of copper–gold ores. For the bulk flotation of copper minerals and gold from supergene copper ores, it is normal practice to add a xanthate as the primary collector and dithiophosphate as a secondary collector (Bulatovic, 1997). This combination gives satisfactory results in respect of copper concentrate grade and copper and gold ...
Flotation of Gold with Copper. The copper concentrates mentioned in the preceding paragraph that contained 21.51 percent copper and represented 86.4 percent recovery were typical of those obtained in several similar tests in which the copper rougher concentrates were cleaned once. These concentrates carried 3.29 ounces of gold per …

The results showed that kaolinite played a negative role in both copper and gold flotation in fresh water because of kaolinite particle aggregation, resulting in a lower copper and gold grade being achieved. Further, cryo-SEM and settling measurements confirmed a worse flotation behavior when seawater was applied, probably due to the …
