Abstract

The Purpose of the paper is development of an efficient technology for complex polymetallic ore processing based on the improved gold gravity separation in the head of the production train. Methods. The following analytical and experimental methods are used: chemical and fire assay analyses of the feed and concentrate, size fraction analysis, bench scale and pilot plant gravity tests, statistical analysis of experimental data and mathematical modeling. Results. The study results show that the direct gravity concentration provides relatively good recovery of valuable components. The recovery of gold to the primary gravity concentrate varies from 27.57 to 36.48 %, silver from 14.79 to 22 % and lead from 14.66 to 27.94 %. The highest recovery of gold was achieved under ore dressing using a modernized jigging box. The conducted studies show that there is a possibility in principle to increase the recovery of valuable component to the gravitation concentrate. In this case the recovery of gold to the gravity concentrate may be increased by 3 %, silver by 7.5 %, lead by 3.8 %. The expected economic effect from the introduction of the proposed technical solution will estimate RUB129,562,579.
