Recovering Gold through the Froth Flotation Process
ResultFirst, ore is ground into an extremely fine powder. The powdered ore is mixed with water to create a slurry, which is mixed with surfactants to increase the gold's hydrophobicity. This mixture is placed into a large tank filled with distilled water. Air bubbles are pumped into the tank and the water is agitated.

ResultAs part of the program you should take a sample of your rougher concentrate and look at it under a microscope - if there is a lot of pyrite is it liberated or associated with the copper minerals. If it is the former then there are opportunities to optimize flotation. If it is the latter then you need to look at finer grinding.
