Flotation Circuit Performance Determination Using Size By Size Recovery – Case of Bulyanhulu Gold Mine

Abstract

The Bulyanhulu rougher flotation circuit performance has been determined by establishing the performance of individual cells. Direct sampling was done on all the rougher cellinput, output and size analysis was performed on the samples with material in each sizefraction assayed for copper and gold to determine their recoveries. It was observed that theperformance of rougher cell number 3 and 4 was poor compared to other cells especiallyfor finer particles below...
