Abstract

A process mineralogy and beneficiation test study was conducted on a gold mine. The results indicated that the ore composition was relatively simple, primarily consisting of dolomite, chlorite, quartz, sericite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, and limonite. Under a closed-circuit flotation process involving one roughing, two cleaning, and two scavenging stages, with a grinding fineness of -0.074 mm accounting for 63.2%, and using a reagent system comprising 220 g/t of copper sulfate, 910 g/t of sodium silicate, and 210 g/t of butyl xanthate, a satisfactory beneficiation result was achieved. The final gold concentrate exhibited a yield of 5.72%, a gold grade of 56.2 × 10–6, and a gold recovery rate of 94.83%.
