Processing Gold Ore by Flotation
On treating ore containing $25 gold direct by agitation and flotation, without amalgamating or concentrating on tables, it was proved that fine free gold can be floated by using eucalyptus oil. A few years ago some experiments were made by crushing in ball-mills and concentrating on tables, but they were not successful.

Flotation of Carbonaceous Matter from a Double Refractory Gold …
The use of alkaline pressure oxidation to pretreat refractory gold ore often results in insufficient gold recovery (<60%) in downstream thiosulfate leaching. To improve gold recovery, flotation was considered for the separation of carbonaceous matter (C-matter). In this study, the effect of MIBC on C-matter flotation was investigated to understand the role of the frother in …
