Gravity and Intensive Leach Gold Processing
Maximum gold recovery at a very minimal cost in a much safer way is the prime goal of any gold processing operation. Intensive cyanidation on gravity recoverable gold is the best for maximum recovery (cost on reagents), yet, it produces a pregnant solution which must go through electrowinning (cost), and finally through smelting (another cost).
Gold Gravity Separation
Gold Gravity Separation. The gravity separations are simple and separate mineral particles of different specific gravity. As the density of gold mineral is much bigger than gangue mineral, for the gold mine which has gold particles people often use the gravity separation process. Gravity concentration is a proven process for mineral beneficiation.

Silver Gold Recovery Flotation Process
The discharge from the tube mill is first passed through a 4-mesh screen to separate out coarse material, which is laundered direct to the classifier. The remainder of the pulp, diluted to give a W/S ratio of 1/1, passes to a Denver " Sub-A" Flotation Cell, from which 60% of the gold and silver in the feed is removed as a concentrate.
Advances in gravity gold technology
The economic benefits of gravity recovery are application-dependent, as shown in Table 2.For more than 95% of all applications, gravity recovery targets GRG to supplement cyanidation or flotation, thereby increasing overall gold recovery by 1–5% and slightly reducing some of the costs associated with carbon stripping and regeneration.

Flotation is also the best method for recovery of gold from base metal ores and gold-containing PGM ores. Excluding gravity preconcentration, flotation remains the most cost-effective bene ficiation method. Gold itself is a rare metal and the average grades for low-grade deposits vary between 3 and 6 ppm.
