In the present study, the role of particle size of mica with flaky shape on the separation efficiency of mica from feldspar by the shaking table and Reichert spiral (Model HG7) concentrators were investigated. An albite ore containing mica from the Cine region of Turkey was treated under various test conditions. During the study, particle size …

In this process, a slurry of crushed ore is placed in a vessel such as a shaker table, spiral concentrator, or jig designed to facilitate mineral separation based on density. The specific gravity of a mineral is the ratio of its density to that of water. For example, gold has a specific gravity of 19.3, which is 19.3 times denser than water. ...

Since the classification in a spiral concentrator depends on particle specific gravity and size, the operation of spirals can be analyzed using size recovery or partition curves (Bazin et al., 2014). Spiral concentrators possess multiple design parameters for a variety of applications. The design parameters that govern the performance of the ...

The 1960s was the peak decade for the spiral concentrator. About two-thirds of all applications were for the iron ore industry. Several large engineering and construction companies designed and built spiral plants, under agreement with Humphreys, to process iron ore in Canada, West Africa, and the United States.

Water Power Is Precious, Like Gold. Water that is pumped into the bowl drives the lighter material to swirl up and through the hole at the top of the center of the cone. The bowl in its entirety resembles a bundt cake pan. The tower (cone) base is where the fine gold is collected. The bowl sits on a 3–5-gallon bucket that gathers the drained ...

Gravity Spiral Concentrator Working Principle. The gravity spiral circuit is designed to extract and concentrate "coarse gold' from the recirculating load in the mill grinding circuit and hence prevent a build-up within that circuit and the eventual escape of some of that gold into the C.I.L. tanks and thereon into the final tails. (See fig. 4)
