The gravity separation needs to achieve an iron recovery that exceeds the recovery from the reverse flotation circuit at a solids throughput higher than for reverse flotation (typically 4 t/m 2 /h), targeting hematite down to about 10 μm. Moreover, the goal is to target a product grade of at least 65 % iron, and ideally up to 68 % iron (pure ...

Wet gravity separation. 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.
Enrichment of ores utilizing the gravity concentration method is one of the oldest and most economic techniques. Although subsequently other techniques like floatation and magnetic separation etc. are also being used for …
