Gravity Concentration The existing technologies utilised are: • Size reduction utilising a combination of crushing and grinding – care must be taken to prevent over grinding. Over grinding may result in reduced recoveries during the gravity and/or flotation stage. • Concentration is by gravity and/or flotation.
Mass Percent. When the solute in a solution is a solid, a convenient way to express the concentration is a mass percent (mass/mass), which is the grams of solute per 100 g 100 g of solution. Percent by mass = mass of solute mass of solution × (8.1.1) (8.1.1) Percent by mass = mass of solute mass of solution × 100 %.

Gravity concentrators use the same principles of gravity separation at higher velocities. While conventional gravity separation happens at one G force, the Falcon SB uses up to 200Gs to concentrate microscopic particles as small as 20 microns. The same principles apply, just at a smaller scale. Dense particles will settle first, and light ones ...
