Flotation of Gold and Gold-Bearing Ores

Most problems in gold ore flotation are not connected with floating metallic gold. The flotation recovery of free gold (throughout the text free gold is synonymous with liberated gold) is largely affected by physical constraints such as the shape and size of the gold particles and the stability of the froth.
