اقرأ أكثرGold losses during flotation often occur within the fines fraction, which has been an ongoing issue that has challenged the gold mining industry. Subsequently, operations will attempt to coarsen up the primary grind to reduce the fine gold (free gold or sulphide gold) generation, resulting from over grinding. Under-grinding can then to lead to gold losses in …
