REAGENTS FOR SILVER ORE FLOTATION. The conditioning agents used for silver ores are the same as those for gold ores. Soda ash is a commonly used pH regulator. It aids the flotation of galena and silver sulphides. ... It is generally true that cyanidation is capable of producing a tailing of lower gold content than flotation. At a price of $35 ...
This unit recovers not only a lead-silver concentrate in sulphide form but also recovers a high percentage of the lead carbonates and lead oxides. ... direct flotation is comparatively rare except for the treatment of tailing …
The strength of solution used in these tests was 0.10% KCN. It should perhaps be noted that all samples of flotation tailing had been dried before being tested by cyanidation. Effect of Roasting. Two samples of sand from tailing were roasted and treated by percolation. The value was $3. The roasting reduced the sulphur to 0.5%.
A total recovery of more than 97% of the gold and silver is made by flotation, while the combined flotation-cyanidation process gives an overall extraction of 95%. The installation …
Froth flotation was used to recover silver bearing minerals using a combination of different collectors (dithiophosphate, dialkyl dithiophosphinates, Aero 7518, Aero 7640, alkyl dithiophosphates and potassium butyl-xanthate). …
