Extracción y caracterización del mucílago de la malva común (malva sylvestris) y del guarumbo (cecropia peltata) para realizar ensayos en la formulación de espumante para la remoción de oro nativo en la minería artesanal

The present work is an investigation on the use of Common Mallow (Malva Sylvestris) and Guarumbo (Cecropia Peltata) mucilage, for the formulation of sparkling wine in which the removal of free gold by the flotation method was completed. For this, the hydrophobicity of gold had to be induced with surfactants such as the common detergent and with the help of the viscosity given by the mucilage, the generation of a stable foam was achieved, with a sufficient height where the mineral was concentrated, recovering 72%, compared to 81% obtained with conventional tests.
