Gravity Concentration | SpringerLink
Gravity concentration is the process in which separation is realized by using the differences in density of mineral particles in a certain medium or medium flow (mostly water). It is mostly used for separation of the ore in which the useful mineral has major density difference from the gangue, e.g., tungsten ore, tin ore, and alluvial gold ore.
Gravity Separation | AllMinings
Spiral concentrators are gravity-based separation devices used for the concentration of coal, heavy minerals, and ores with a relatively high specific gravity. They work on the principle of the spiral motion of slurry within a specially designed trough, creating a centrifugal force that aids in the separation process.
