    Concentration criterion is used to estimate the ease of seperation, Dh-Df / Dl-Df, where Dh is the specific gravity of the heavy mineral. Efficiency of gravity processes increases with particle size for the movement is controlled by surface friction. Settling velocity of the particle can be calculated by three different formulas Stokes law, Newton's law, and Transitional.

    PRINCIPLES OF GRAVITY CONCENTRATION


    There must exist somewhat of a density difference between the mineral and the waste A concentration criterion is used to estimate the ease of seperation, Dh-Df/Dl-Df, where Dh is the specific gravity of the heavy mineral, Df is the specific gravity of the fluid medium, Dl is the specific gravity of the light mineral The efficiency of gravity processes increases with particle size for the movement is controlled by surface friction The proper water balance throughout the plant is essential The settling velocity of the particle can be calculated by three different formulas Stokes law, Newton's law, and Transitional. Stoke's law is used for quartz particles < 125 micron, gold particles < 53 microns, cassiterite particles < 70 microns. Newton's law is used for quartz particles > than 3mm, Cassiterite > 2mm, gold > 1.5mm
