Traditional recovery. Tailings retreatment in South Africa began in the 1970s incorporating a technique known as flotation to recover pyrite uranium and gold. A CIL circuit was later added to enhance gold production. Three decades had passed before DRDGOLD acquired the Brakpan plant in 2007 with the aim of re-establishing the Ergo project

a SAG / Ball Mill grinding circuit. The Anawe processing plant consists of a gold-bearing pyrite flotation circuit, 4 x Autoclaves processing flotation concentrate and a Leach/CIP circuit. This paper describes a range of process improvements in the Anawe processing plant resulting in significant recovery and capacity improvements

The recovery of gold-containing pyrite to the copper concentrate is encouraged to achieve a higher total gold recovery provided that a saleable copper concentrate grade is still produced. Mineralogical diagnosis of feed and product streams from the copper flotation circuit have shown that the copper bearing minerals are well liberated

To recover gold, pyrite flotation followed by leaching pyrite concentrate has been used after the copper flotation circuit. Due to locked gold in pyrite particles and a high concentration of

The concentrator has a flotation circuit which produces a gold-pyrite concentrate that advances to the leach circuit. Mass concentration is typically 2-4%, with a recovery of 92-93%. Flotation concentrate is thickened in a 4.5 meter diameter thickener and reground in

The primary reason for the significant comminution circuits is because in gold mining the grades are notably low and thus excessive waste material is present, resulting in high mill feed rates. If the ore rock is highly fractured and/or brittle, it is likely that an AG mill

It shows flattened, tarnished gold particles and composite particles which could be the source of gold losses from the batch Knelson and flotation circuit. The presence of flattened gold was

Both streams contain a gravity gold recovery circuit. Approximately 40% of the gold at Telfer is produced as dor which is smelted on site.

Aug 05, 2021 As the amount of sulphide material treated increased, gold recovery decreased in response to the refractory nature of the ore. Testwork indicated that a 6% increase in recoverable gold could be obtained by grinding the sulphide material to 80% passing 10μm and leaching the mill product combined with the flotation tails in the existing carbon-in leach (CIL) circuit

Gold-Pyrite ores. Gold has varying modes of occurrence in sulphide ores ranging from being disseminated and interstitial in minerals such as lead and copper, in oxide ores particularly as disseminated particles, and as free milling gold or association with tellurides.
