Analysis of the Selective Flotation of Elemental Gold from

The gold contained in copper ores is an important resource for the gold industry. In some cases, elemental gold is present and can be recovered by selective flotation.

Flotation of gold and gold-bearing ores

The application of flotation on a reasonable scale within the gold-mining industry began after the introduction of water-soluble flotation collectors (specifically xanthates and dithiophosphate collectors) that allowed differential flotation of sulfide minerals. Gold occurs in a number of minerals, and the most important of these is metallic gold and the gold metal alloys.
