On a plant of 250 tons the extra labor would bring it up to approximately 10c. per ton. Actual figures from a large plant of over 2000 tons gave 6.1c. per ton. The flotation feed in this case represents 60% of the crude-ore tonnage or 3.5c. per ton of crude ore treated. FLOTATION …

QEMSCAN® uses advanced electron beam technology and combines this with high-resolution backscattered electron (BSE) imaging and two energy dispersive spectrometers (EDS). The components are then integrated using electronic control systems and the unique iExplorer software suite to provide a comprehensive tool capable of identifying most ore- and rock-forming minerals on a

Whilst several such as Gottlieb and Gu worked on advancing the capabilities of the QEMSCAN and the MLA respectively, others turned to investigating the importance and methodology of the sampling and reproducibility for both plant surveys and flotation testing (Restarick, 1976, Hartley et al., 1977, Lotter, 1995a, Lotter, 1995b, Lotter, 2005).

These were located in the gold mining areas where the slimes dams were retreated mainly to produce a concentrate for sulphuric acid production. The gold content was 0.5g/ton of which about 50% was recovered in the concentrate. Early work in the flotation group focused on a wide range of problems associated with these flotation plants.

Flotation is an incredibly robust and versatile process that is well accepted around the world. It works equally well on mixed sulfide, oxide, silicate and other ores. It relies on generating a population of bubbles of suitable size that can carry the hydrophobic target mineral (usually but not exclusively sulfide minerals) up to be recovered.
