NaSH Replacement

Sulfidization using Sodium hydrosulfide (NaSH) or Sodium sulfide (Na2S) can be used to recover oxide minerals.

Features

  • Use to depress Zn sulfide and Fe sulfide minerals.
  • Can be used as an activator for oxidised and tarnished minerals.
  • Can be used to depress all sulfides at high dose rates.

At low dose rates (below 500 g/t), Sodium hydrosulfide (NaSH) can be used as to depress Zn sulfide (e.g. sphalerite) and Fe sulfide (e.g. pyrite, pyrrhotite) minerals. 

At medium dose rates, it can be used as an activator for oxidised and tarnished minerals. The choice of whether to use Sodium sulfide (Na2S) or NaSH depends on the pH required in flotation, as Na2S is more alkaline. Users should test to verify which works best.

At high dose rates (above 500g/t), NaSH can be used to depress all sulfides (reverse flotation), allowing gangue to float and be removed.

Fosterville Gold Mine: Successful Deployment of Milling Optimisation Technology

Agnico Eagle Fosterville Gold Mine (Fosterville) operates a gold plant in Australia comprising of a crushing and grinding circuit (SAG mill with a closed loop cyclone classification circuit) followed by flotation, bacterial oxidation and leaching circuits. The lack of surge capacity between the grinding and flotation circuit and restrictions on crushing operations due to noise constraints resulted in unique set of challenges, that required the implementation of a novel control solution using advanced instrumentation.
