Unfortunately, the conventional flotation cell achieves high recovery only in limited size ranges. For example, a sulfide ore might float very well at 90 to 120 microns, but not at 50 or 150 microns. The research to date has identified two main reasons for the upper limit on floatable particle sizes.
Laboratory demonstration tests were run with coarsely ground of FI ore samples. A 36% copper concentrate with 7.2 ppm (0.27 oz/t) gold was produced for a 34% copper recovery and 13% gold recovery. Other tests had gold recovery as high as 45%. Concern 1 (metallurgy) was alleviated.

The BQR series of Bateman cells have a round tank design with cell sizes varying. Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the Bateman flotation cell (courtesy of Bateman Process Equipment, South Africa).
Recoveries ranged from less than 10 to approximately 50 pct. Gold recovery was complicated by: 1) CIL circuit operation, 2) the complex origin of the Au and 3) a complicated reagent scheme. Laboratory column testing was performed on a Philippines Cu/Au ore to determine column amenability as either a rougher or cleaner stage.
Gold ores were obtained from the Gasado gold mine in Jeollanam-do, Korea. It is known that the gold ore consists of pyrite, muscovite, and quartz [30]. The gold ores were initially crushed using a jaw crusher and a cone crusher, and then ground using a ball mill in the gold ore beneficiation plant. Water was obtained from the plants.

ABSTRACT Inherent limitation of the mechanical flotation cell is the entrainment of hydrophilic particles (gangue) in the water reporting to the froth. In this study, a combine column and cell flotation process was proposed to reduce the entrainment of gangue particles and, ultimately, ash content of coal flotation concentrate in Datun coal …
