flotation, in mineral processing, method used to separate and concentrate ores by altering their surfaces to a hydrophobic or hydrophilic condition—that is, the surfaces are either repelled or attracted by water.The flotation process was developed on a commercial scale early in the 20th century to remove very fine mineral particles that formerly had gone to …
Modified thionocarbamates are used in copper-gold ores, which allow some selectively against iron sulfides even at a pH value less than 10. Many gold plants use a blended collector or separate collectors as needed based on mineralogy and ore chemistry. Copper sulfate is commonly used as an activator of gold-bearing iron sulfides in flotation ...

Ore processing is by conventional cyanide heap leaching, which produces a pregnant leach solution (PLS) containing 1–2 ppm of gold, together with 1000 ppm or more of copper. The PLS is treated by column ion exchange, using Dow's gold-selective MINIX resin. Loaded resin is stripped with an acidic thiourea solution, from which gold and …
