Energy Use of Fine Grinding in Mineral Processing ...
· The Albion process uses ultrafine grinding to enhance the oxidation of sulfide concentrates in treating refractory gold ores. In the process, the flotation concentrate is ground to a P80 of 10 to 12 μm. The product slurry is reacted with oxygen in a leach tank at atmospheric pressure; limestone is added to maintain the pH at 5 to The leach reaction is autothermal and is maintained .
