A large portion of the energy consumed in copper concentrators is used to reduce the particle size of the feed by crushing and grinding. The cost of metal production could be reduced if low-grade particles of cm size were removed prior to further processing. Two copper sulfide ore samples (3 × 1 cm) from Arizona were analyzed by micro X-ray …

Introduction. Gravity concentration is a process to concentrate the mineral of interest (in this case gold) using the difference of specific gravity of gold and gangue minerals. The specific gravity of gold is 19.5 and the specific gravity of quartz (the common gangue mineral associated with gold) is 2.65 (i.e., gravity concentration works ...
