Beneficiation-metallurgy Combined Tests and Economic Benefit Analysis of a Gold Mine in Guizhou
The production indexes of a gold mine are unsatisfactory,the comprehensive recovery rate of beneficiation-metallurgy is low,the inorganic carbon and carbonate gangue minerals in flotation concentrate have a great impact on the cost of pre-acidification process so the enterprise fails to maximize the economic benefits. Flotation tests of concentrates with different yields are carried out to investigate the process indexes under the corresponding yields;at the same time,pressure pre-oxidation-cyanide leaching tests are carried out after proportioning of the flotation concentrates to study the influence of concentrates with different yields on the acidification cost of pre-acidification process. The results show that:when the flotation concentrate yield is 35.24%,the gold grade of the concentrate is 12.13g/t,the gold recovery rate is 90.64%,and the gold grade of the tailings is 0.68g/t;the cost of pre-acidification process is optimal by using the concentrate with this yield for pressure oxidization after proportioning,and the comprehensive recovery rate of beneficiation-metallurgy can reach 85.42%,which is up by 5.27%,and the enterprise can increase the efficiency by about 37.4282 million yuan per year. This study provides technical support for the production organization of the enterprise.
