Read MoreConcentrate grade refers to the amount of gold that can be extracted from ore through various extraction processes. In order to obtain high-grade gold concentrate, miners must consider the following three factors and the corresponding improvement mathods. 1. Raw ore quality. The first factor affecting the grade of gold concentrate is the …
Read MoreFlotation. This is an overview of setting up and conducting a flotation rate test. The test is a means of determining the flotation characteristics of an ore. It is conducted in a laboratory scale cell usually with a volume of two point five litres. The intention is to generate relationships of cumulative recovery, mass pull and grade versus ...
Read MoreNear the bottom of the tank, one or two constriction plates are installed. If two plates are used, the bottom plate will have relatively large holes, about 1.6 cm, and the top plate will have smaller holes, usually 0.6 cm or 0.8 cm in diameter. Water for fluidizing the pulp and air for aerating the pulp pass through the constriction plates.
