Flash Flotation
Flash flotation is performed under conditions of high concentration (above 60%) and coarse particles (the mass content of particles smaller than 0.074 mm generally accounts for 10–20% of the total), which is used to process the sand deposits generated from the classifying equipment in the grinding and classification circuit.

The behaviour of free gold particles in a simulated flash flotation
Introduction. The behaviour of free gold in flash flotation is currently poorly understood (Dunne 2005), especially when in competition with a gravity recovery unit in a closed-loop milling circuit, although an overlap has been identified in which both units can recover particles between 212 μm and 38 μm.This research aims to identify parameters that may determine whether free gold …

A comparison of 2D and 3D shape characterisations of free gold
In principle, gravity concentration methods separate dense particles (such as gold) from lighter gangue materials based on their response to the force of gravity and the movement of a viscous fluid, which is generally water (Koppalkar, 2009, Wills, 2006).Flash flotation was originally designed to be used ahead of conventional flotation in grinding mill circulating loads …
