Abstract
A method for optimising a mineral recovery process. A slurry is fed to a conditioning step . The condition slurry is then provided to a flotation circuit to recover a concentrate . The remainder of the slurry is then rejected as tail or passed for further processing. The present invention provides apparatus for analysing a sample stream of the slurry. A sample stream is provided to an analysis device which treats the sample with an oxidising gas similar to the oxidative treatment . Several parameters are measured before and/or after the oxidative treatment of the slurry. The flotability characteristic of the slurry is then determined as a function of the measured parameter(s). The result is used to optimise mineral recovery. This apparatus can be used intermittently or continuously to provide on-going optimisation of the mineral recovery circuit.
