Jan 01, 2005 Pyrrhotite floats best in acid circuits. The pH range for flotation for gold sulfide ores containing pyrite and arsenopyrite is generally between 7 and 9. Flotation may be carried out at higher pH values of 9 to 10, since this favours the depression of talc minerals and avoids the use of expensive gangue depressants
Aug 01, 2016 In most cases gold is associated with or hosted in pyrite. When the aim is gold recovery, either via direct exposure for leaching, liberation for gravity recovery, or recovery through flotation of liberated sulfide minerals, it is important to understand the deportment mechanisms that would influence overall recovery

2 days ago Pyrite particles, having framboidal/altered texture, are known to significantly affect pulp chemistry and adversely affect flotation performance. Therefore, the main objectives of this study were to demonstrate influence of pyrite mineralogy on the flotation of copper (sulphidic) ores and develop alternative conditions to improve the performance

Apr 15, 2018 The recovery of gold associated with arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite has a similar response pattern from both collector and pH viewpoints as illustrated in Figures 8 and 9. It is sometimes desired to recover arsenopyrite away from pyrite. This is also an active area of flotation research and clearly the regulation of flotation pulp electrochemistry
