Coarse free gold requires adequate agitation to maintain its suspension within the pulp. Literature states too much agitation can result in smaller bubbles which are less able to carry the dense gold to the surface and contribute to froth instability (Yoon, 2000).Lins and Adamian (1993) found rising eddies within a laboratory flotation cell …
