Abstract: For a copper tailing in Guizhou with fineness of 40.17% passing 200 mesh,its valuable minerals are mainly chalcopyrite,pyrite,pyrrhotite and bornite,with a small amount of gold and silver associated.Chalcopyrite,closely associated with pyrite,pyrrhotite,exists in fine or micro-fine form,some of which are too fine to be liberated.Gold mainly exists in form of natural gold or enclosed by chalcopyrite.In order to high-efficiently develop and utilize the secondary resources,the experiment on recovery of copper-gold is carried out.The results show that,at the grinding fineness of 80% passing 200 mesh,through the processes of one roughing-two cleanings-two scavengings,concentrate 2 regrounded to 85% passing 325 mesh and then through two cleanings,and middlings back to the flow-sheet in order,Cu-Ag concentrate with copper,gold,silver grade of 13.05%,18.75 g/t,229.62 g/t,and recovery of 58.70%,56.66%,43.72% is achieved respectively.
