A study of placer gold flotation properties

Yevdokimov S. I., e-mail: skgtu@skgtu.ru

Certain issues are considered, related to flotation recovery of fine and platelike-flake gold, whose losses in placer gold processing reach 50 %. A number of factors has been considered, capable to affect gold grains flotation properties: size, temperature, standard gold assay, collector type and consumption, metal particles interaction character.

Placer gold, induction time, sediment volume, gold assay, gold size, contact power, flotation, aerosol.
