Gravity separation is a classic and reliable mineral processing technology that sorts materials based on density differences, under the combined action of gravity, water flow and mechanical forces. It is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method with no heavy reliance on chemical reagents.
As a physical separation process, gravity separation achieves stratification and separation by utilizing the density gap between valuable minerals and gangue. Featuring a simple flow sheet, low failure rate and large processing capacity, it is widely applied in the processing of gold, tungsten, tin, iron, coal and other minerals. It performs especially well in coarse-grained ore and alluvial deposit applications, helping to improve mineral recovery rate while reducing tailings pollution.
Compared with flotation and other chemical methods, gravity separation has lower investment, less energy consumption and easier maintenance, making it ideal for large-scale and continuous production. It can be effectively applied both in new mineral processing plants and in the technical upgrading of existing facilities.
Based on practical and scientific principles, gravity separation remains one of the mainstream solutions in mineral processing, providing solid support for mining enterprises to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
