An efficient flotation separation process is mostly governed by variables from two fundamental aspects: surface chemistry, and hydrodynamics. Judging from the numerous research work reported in the open literature, it can be seen that significant progress has been made of flotation chemistry; however, flotation hydrodynamics …

If I understand correctly you are working on a refractory gold ore with the gold being refractory because it is 'locked' in the pyrite. The normal options considered for this type of gold deposit are: Make a sulphide concentrate by flotation then oxidize the sulphides by autoclaving, roasting or ultrafine grinding and atmospheric oxidation.

The definition of ultrafine grinding is broad and vague, referring to nano-sized grinding in some specialised industries but in this book, ultrafine grinding for the mineral industry will refer to sizes less than 20 μm. ... Figure 10.5 shows the effect of steel ball size in a 1.7 litre tower mill grinding a pyrite concentrate and quartz feed ...

The definition of fine and ultrafine grinding varies, but fine grinding is often considered to take place below P 80 values (the size that 80 wt% of particles pass below) of 100 μm [7] and ultrafine grinding below P 80 values of 20 μm [8] with lower size limits of …

Mechanistic study of the effects of ultrafine grinding on the surface properties of anthracite coal particles and interface regulation on froth flotation under multifactorial influences. ... XRD results implied that the inorganic minerals in the coal sample mainly included kaolinite, quartz, and pyrite (Fig. 1). Some studies have …

After oxidation pretreatment, metal minerals (such as pyrite) are corroded to a smaller volume and many corrosion cracks appear, and the gold particles encapsulated in them can be recovered. Gold particles encapsulated in gangue minerals can only be recovered with high probability after ultrafine grinding (González-Anaya et al., 2011).
