The grade of WO₃ in the flotation tailings of a gold mine is 0.23 % and the tungsten-bearing mineral is mainly scheelite followed by wolframite.According to the property,experimental research on comprehensive recovery of tungsten is carried out.The results show that the closed-circuit flow of once roughing,twice scavenging and five times cleaning can obtain the tungsten concentrates with WO₃ grade 43.01 % and WO₃ recovery rate 86.98 % which are good flotation index.The research results can be used as technical reference for the gold mine to make use of the tungsten in the flotation tailings.
