The authors have analyzed applicability of butyl potassium xanthate coupled with sulfuraromatic concentrate, recovered from high sulfur diesel fraction of South Uzbekistan oil in two-stage extraction in the zinc chloride solution in N,N-dimethyl formamide, in flotation of gravity circuit tailings. The best performance has been reached at the ratio of the said concentrates as 2/1, which results in 12.2% reduction of gold loss in tailings, and, for another thing, the quality of the rougher sulfide flotation concentrate grows by 6 g/t.
