Abstract:
A detailed study was conducted on the process mineralogy of the gold-silver-lead-zinc polymetallic ores in a mine in Henan Province to understand the metallurgical type, main target minerals for recovery, particle size characteristics, and dissemination characteristics, providing data support for the development of a reasonable separation process and technical conditions. Based on the metallurgical characteristics of the ore and target minerals, a separation process was determined as raw ore gravity separation-flotation of gold, silver, and lead from gravity separation tailings-flotation of zinc from gold-silver-lead tailings, resulting in effective recovery of gold, silver, lead, and zinc.
