Gold concentration usually consists of gravity separation and froth flotation. However, flotation faces difficulties due to gold-bearing ores often being refractory and finely disseminated in nature.

Flotation stands out as a successful and extensively employed method for separating valuable mineral particles from waste rock. The efficiency of this process is subjected to the distinct physicochemical attributes exhibited by various minerals.

The best PVC separation (90% recovery) from the other three plastics was accomplished through flotation at 40 °C at 200 and 240 rpm in a small (0.35 L) and medium (3.0 L) glass flotation cells, respectively. Ozonation was conducted for 10 min by introducing ozone gas (90–150 mg-O 3 L −1) at 50 mL min −1 flow rate.

The present review sheds new light on the deep understanding of fluorite flotation, the future synthesis of reagents, as well as their schemes in practical use. Meanwhile, such a novel rain of thought provided in this work has the potential to guide the flotation of other similar minerals extensively. 1.

Pyrrhotite floats best in acid circuits. The pH range for flotation for gold sulfide ores containing pyrite and arsenopyrite is generally between 7 and 9. Flotation may be carried out at higher pH values of 9 to 10, since this favours the depression of talc minerals and avoids the use of expensive gangue depressants.
