Prueba Metalúrgica para determinar el Factor E-ORG (Oro Recuperable por Gravedad) en el equipo KC-MD3 con material de Mina del Distrito Minero Chinapintza, Sector La Pangui.

Abstract

The present research work is carried out in the in the South Orient of Ecuador. Province of Zamora, mining district Chinapintza - Sector La Pangui, the small mining and handmade mining it continues using traditional methods for the recovery of gold like gutters with cloths and amalgamation, these methods don't overcome an efficiency of 60% that which it can corroborate with values that report in tails a law of 1,639 gr / tn of gold according to (Castle 2014), these methods are not very friendly with the environment. The proposal is to increase the percentages of recovery of gold for concentration which is centrifuged in Knelson KC-MD3 by means of the test ORG, with the purpose to investigate with the material of the area and to recommend as an alternative of recovery of gold to the mining sector. The result of the test ORG reports a value of 78,85% of recovery of gold, like an average of two tests carried out under the same operation conditions, checking that this method is more effective and friendlier with the environment, the operation conditions were size of grain (Stage 1 = 765 μm, Stage 2 = 233 μm and Stage 3 = 75 μm) and Forces G (60 Gs).
