FLOWSHEETS FOR CYANIDATION AND FLOTATION

THE PROBLEM
how may a mill get the maximum recovery of gold from a sulphide ore, at
the least capital cost and at the same time obtain the highest net return.
This latter point is most important. In many cases a gold mill using an all-
cyanide flowsheet with fine grinding of all the ore will report very low gold
content in the tailings particularly on an axidized ore. A neighboring mine
may have a higher tailing loss but still make more money due to lower
milling costs.
(Cmo puede un molino obtener la mxima recuperacin de oro de un
mineral de sulfuro, al menor costo de capital y, al mismo tiempo, obtener
el mayor rendimiento neto.
Este ltimo punto es muy importante.
En muchos casos, un molino de oro que utiliza un caudal de todo el
cianuro con rectificado fino de todo el mineral informar un contenido de
 for many years, after introduction of the cyanide process for dissolution of
gold, the usual practice was to grind all the ore with little or no concentration
before cyanidation.
there were two general cyanidation flowsheets; sand leaching and all sliming.
the latter ultimately has almost completely replaced sand leaching.

Durante muchos aos, despus de la introduccin del proceso de

cianuro para la disolucin del oro, la prctica habitual era moler
todo el mineral con poca o ninguna concentracin antes de la
cianuracin.
Haba dos flujos de cianuracin generales; Lixiviacin de arena y
todo sliming.
El ltimo finalmente ha reemplazado casi completamente la
lixiviacin de la arena.
