From a lime consumption perspective, hydrometallurgical gold processing can broadly be classified using three ore features: (1) gold grade, (2) copper mineral content and (3) pyrite content, as illustrated in Table 2, with typical lime consumption ranges given as a function of ore feed (Lhoist data). The combination of these features influences ...

Flotation, when first introduced between 1913 and 1916, was used primarily to reduce losses of copper in the fine tailings of gravity plants. From an accessory to gravity methods, flotation very rapidly became a major process and finally, from 1923 to 1927, all but eliminated the gravity method in the treatment of lowgrade sulfide copper ores.

Figure 6 At cutoff grade 50% of ore was recovered to Middle Grade IF YOU CAN'T MEASURE YOU CAN'T IMPROVE. Mines today can only measure the average grades of the mill and concentrator feed of the ore and waste rock they are processing. The ore and waste are homogenized in the intermediate stockpiles and especially in the grinding mills.

Grade Engineering () refers to a range of integrated strategies aiming to improve feed grades by removing low grade uneconomic material prior to energy intensive and inefficient grinding (Walters, 2016).In this work the impact of preferential grade by size deportment and differential blasting for grade on comminution circuit performance (throughput) is investigated.

As a result of the ore type change, the feed grade decreased to % Cu. In order to achieve the target copper concentrate tonnage with the new ore type, the feed rate to the mills was increased. This, in turn, decreased the particles' residence time in the mills, leading to a 10% coarser rougher feed compared to the original design.
