PROCESS FLOWSHEET DESCRIPTION: Gold Mineral Jig in grinding circuit (ball mill discharge) at center of gravity concentration plant. ORE TREATED: Various oxide and nonmetallic minerals not now recoverable by flotation. ADVANTAGES: Where fine grinding is necessary before gravity concentration, high tailing losses are unavoidable as slimed mineral is not efficiently concentrated and recovered by gravity … Read more
CIRCUIT PROCESS FLOWSHEET DESCRIPTION: Gold Mineral Jig and Flash/Unit Float Cell in a flotation circuit. ORE TREATED: Partially oxidized or mixed oxide and sulphide ores. ADVANTAGES: In several cases this flowsheet has been used with outstanding success on dump ore and stope fills. Non-floating oxide minerals and tarnished gold are recovered in Mineral Jig ahead of … Read more
CIRCUIT PROCESS FLOWSHEET DESCRIPTION: A Mineral Jig of the flotation concentrate regrinding circuit followed by selective flotation with amalgamation of Jig concentrates. ORE TREATED: Sulphide gold ores, principally those containing some values in copper or lead in addition to precious metals. This flowsheet is applied to ores containing large amounts of pyrite which contains intimately … Read more
CIRCUIT PROCESS FLOWSHEET DESCRIPTION: A Gold Jig ahead of the flotation circuit with or without amalgamation of the Jig concentrates. ORE TREATED: Most gold ores where flotation is used for final recovery. Lead or lead-silver ores containing coarse lead sulphides or lead oxide minerals, also pyritic ores containing gold and silver. ADVANTAGES: Although most gold ores … Read more
CIRCUIT PROCESS FLOWSHEET DESCRIPTION: Modern, inexpensive amalgamation circuit with the Mineral Jig as the major recovery unit. ORE TREATED: Practically any gold ore containing native or free gold. ADVANTAGES From sixty to ninety-five percent recovery can be made with this simple flowsheet on many ores, and the gold produced in bullion form. The Mineral Jig … Read more
CIRCUIT PROCESS FLOWSHEET DESCRIPTION: A Flash Unit sulphide Flotation Cell followed by a gravity concentration plant. This flowsheet shows the use of the Unit Flotation Cell, to extract/recover bas metal sulphides, in the ball mill classifier circuit in a plant where subsequent treatment consists of the usual gravity concentration methods. ORE TREATED: The ores treated in … Read more
GOLD CIRCUIT PROCESS FLOWSHEET DESCRIPTION: At the ball mill discharge, a Gold Flash Flotation Cell ahead of a cyanide circuit for the removal of concentrate for finer grinding or roasting, or for the removal of sulphides that are cyanicides (cyanide consumers) or for the removal of other interfering constituents. ORE TREATED: On ores where gold and … Read more
DESCRIPTION: A Unit Flash Flotation Cell in coarse concentration flotation circuit. This flowsheet is similar to our Coarse gravity concentration followed by flotation circuit. ORE TREATED: This flowsheet can be used on ores wherein the base metal minerals are freed at a coarse size. This is often seen on Pb Lead/Galena flotation located on the ball mill … Read more
DESCRIPTION: A flowsheet of Coarse gravity concentration followed by flotation circuit. ORE TREATED: On ores wherein base metals or gold bearing pyrite free at a coarse size. ADVANTAGES: This flowsheet illustrates the application of a concentrating table in the ball mill classifier circuit, followed by flotation of the classifier overflow at a finer mesh. Where … Read more
DESCRIPTION: Flotation of cyanide tailing after a Merrill-Crowe gold recovery circuit. ORE TREATED: Where ore bodies at depth have become more refractory and flotation ahead of cvanidation would call for major and expensive mill alterations, the sulphide minerals containing the undissolved precious metals can be recovered by flotation and shipped to the smelter. In some … Read more
