PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING A METALLIFEROUS CONCENTRATE FROM A PARTICULATE FEED MATERIAL

A concentrate containing precious metals is produced from a particulate feed material containing particles of various sizes by a size fractionation step, a gravity separation step performed on each size fraction separately, a magnetic separation step and a second gravity separation step. The process...

Zusammenfassung:A concentrate containing precious metals is produced from a particulate feed material containing particles of various sizes by a size fractionation step, a gravity separation step performed on each size fraction separately, a magnetic separation step and a second gravity separation step. The process is especially intended for separating gold and other metals from so-called "black sand" placer deposits.
