The Importance of pH in Flotation
This is very important. The ore may be either alkaline or Acidic. To have a positive control over flotation, it is necessary to be able to determine which and to what degree it is. A cheap way to take this measurement, LITMUS PAPER or a pH METER is used. This is a very important measurement for the flotation operator.

Flotation of Gold and Gold-Bearing Ores
Gold particles in an ore deposit will vary in size from large nuggets to particles locked in the crystal lattice of sulfide minerals. These sulfide minerals are referred to as gold carrier minerals and contain trace to minor amounts of gold (Taggart, 1927, Chryssoulis and Cabri, 1990).Often it is found that gold ores are refractory due to the small size of the gold …
