A review of the effects of grinding media and chemical conditions on the flotation of pyrite in refractory gold operations

Flotation performance of gold-bearing pyrite in refractory gold ores depend upon the interplay among process water chemistry, grinding chemistry, and ore mineralogy. The nature of pyrite itself (finely disseminated reactive pyrite vs. low reactivity) also plays a role in its surface reactivity. This...
