Abstract: The experimental study on gold and tungsten recovery from the a certain tailing of gold, antimony and tungsten which was treated by the combined flow-sheet of gravity separation and flotation is carried out. According to the tailing's characteristic, the selective flotation flow-sheet with the closed circuit is adopted. Then, the gold concentrate of 14.10 g/t with gold recovery of 50.36% and Tungsten coarse concentrate of 1.22% with Tungsten recovery of 49.61% are obtained respectively. The gold concentrate can be used as products directly and Tungsten coarse concentrate should be sent to the on-site process for retreatment. This result can provide a foundation for comprehensive on-site utilization of tailings resources.
