Application of Enhanced Gravity Separators for Fine Particle …

In gravity concentration, a particle experiences gravitational force, according to its size, density, and buoyancy force due to the surrounding medium. However, in the case of enhanced gravity concentration, additional forces viz. drag force, centrifugal force, and Bagnold forces act on the par-ticle, besides the gravitational force (Fig. 2).

Gravity Separation | SpringerLink

For instance, in the case of separating gold from quartz using water as a fluid medium, the specific density of quartz and gold are 2.650 and 19.300 kg m −3, respectively. Based on these values, the concentration criterion is calculated to be 11.1, and therefore, this is not unexpected that the gravity separation of gold can be performed ...

Choose A Falcon Gravity Concentrator for Fine Gold Recovery

This is because the falcon is operated at higher rotation speeds than the Knelson™, without fluidizing water. Because of large rotation velocities, the Falcon concentrator lowers both the size of the optimum and minimum recovery below 25μm. In particular, the batch Falcon is effective in the fine range (less than 37μm for gold).
