Abstract

This article presents a study on the influence of various reagent regimes on the flotation extraction of valuable components from gold-sulfide ores of the Malomyr deposit. The relevance of the work is due to the complexity of enriching ores containing finely disseminated gold and carbonaceous material, which negatively affects flotation efficiency. The aim of the study is to optimize reagent regimes for flotation enrichment to enhance gold extraction. To achieve this goal, laboratory tests were conducted using various reagents, including collectors, depressants, and frothers. The research included 13 series of experiments with two principal flotation schemes: the separation of carbonaceous concentrate at the beginning of the process and the depression of carbonaceous material. The results showed that the application of optimal reagent regimes and preliminary separation of carbonaceous concentrate significantly increase gold extraction from the ore. This work is of interest both to the scientific community and to practitioners in the mining industry, offering effective approaches to processing complex gold-bearing ores.
