Gravity Separation
To determine the suitability of gravity separation processes to a particular ore type, a concentration criterion is commonly used. A concentration criterion (CC) can be defined as [1] (16.1) Concentration Criterion = SG of heavy mineral − SG of fluid SG of light mineral − SG of fluid where SG = specific gravity (or density), and the fluid ...
Gravity Separation & Concentration Methods
Gravity separation has been suggested as an alternative to the use of mercury. However, many sites have pyrite and/or chalcopyrite. The gold is embedded in the ore in very fine particle sizes. That is not amenable to grinding using ball mills followed by gravity separation methods such as sluices or cyclonic concentrations.

Gravity Separation & Concentration Methods
Gravity concentration plants are very effective at recovering fully liberated gold of sizes greater than 50 μm, and some equipment is effective at sizes down to about 10 μm. However, gold can be lost in the following forms: Fine gold, which is too small to be recovered by the these gravity equipment: <500 um: sluices <200 um: jigs

Wet Gravity Separation (WGS) was performed after crushing the samples to a particle size less than 125 μm. The samples were beneficiated through the concentration of high specific gravity minerals such as REEs bearing minerals and the elimination of a significant portion of the low specific gravity minerals such as Quartz.
