Lime use in gold processing – A review

This method is typically used for ore containing <1 g gold per metric ton of ore where the contained gold value does not warrant the increased cost of milling, flotation and subsequent use of tank leaching methods (Petersen, 2016). Stacked ore heaps vary in height from 6 m to 20 m and may contain several lifts.

Depositional environment

SYNOPSIS. Methods for treating and processing refractory gold ores are well established. However, what is less well understood is how the formation of the gold-bearing deposits affects gold processing and extraction. In order to evaluate the effect of ore genesis on gold extraction a number of South African gold deposits were studied.

Significantly, flotation ...

Beneficiation

The effectiveness of the flotation technique is dependent on four factors: the degree of oxidation of the ore, the number of copper minerals present, the nature of the gangue and the presence of iron sulphides. There are some other important factors such as the particle size, minerals compatible with the reagents and the condition of the water.
