Abstract
The practice of the flotation of pure gold and gold-bearing ores such as tellurides, aurostibite, kerogen, pyrite, pyrrhotite, copper-gold o res and mixed sulphides is reviewed. The factors which influence the c hoice of collectors, pH and Eh, are discussed as well as the applicati on of differential flotation. The importance of proper conditioning is highlighted and applications of various flotation cells and circuits briefly discussed.
