Submicroscopic gold in sulfides and surface gold absorbed onto the surface of carbonaceous matter and feox carlin cortez getchell betze and meikle all in the usa jinya gaolong lannigou and donbeizhai all in china can influence the behaviour of gold in flotation leaching andor recovery processes electrum with a high silver
The large material will hinder the recovery of the finer materials for example one miner improved his recovery from 40 to 70 simply by screening his feed from 8mm to 2mm no gold was lost because his largest gold was around 5mm the icon method will improve your process by screening your feed to the proper size

In the gold recovery industry activated carbon from a number of precursors has been used due to the nature of the inpulp process the following characteristics are important high affinity towards gold kinetic activity and equilibrium loading hard resistant to abrasion density suited to mixing in pulp
Sgs metallurgists developed and continue to improve on these costeffective timetested and proven processes in each activated carbon is used to extract gold from the cyanide leach solution such a carbon recovery system offers high recovery rates and lower capital and operating costs these carbon recovery techniques include carboninpulp
Nov 21 2018 sluice design can lead to higher gold recovery if the force of the water traveling through the sluice is decreased a series of rifles can help break the flow to improve recovery a zig zag sluice also achieves this by creating a drop between the first and second platform that disrupts the velocity of the water as it travels down the sluice
Apr 14 2015 recovery is a process of eliminating nongold products from gold gravity methods rely on separation based on mass the particles must have nearly equal size and different mass to be separated there is a limit to the process of screening to smaller and smaller particle sizes during the recovery of gold chemical methods of recovery lead to an
