Q.5. What is the gravity separation method for the concentration of ore? Ans: Gravity separation, also called hydraulic washing, is a method of separation based on the difference in the specific gravity of the metallic ore and gangue particles.
The concentration of ores is divided into two classifications: physical methods and chemical methods. Under physical methods we have: Magnetic separation, which uses the magnetic properties of the ore and the impurities to separate them. Gravity separation, which uses the density differences of the ore and the impurities to separate them.

Spiral concentrators are gravity-based separation devices used for the concentration of coal, heavy minerals, and ores with a relatively high specific gravity. They work on the principle of the spiral motion of slurry within a specially designed trough, creating a centrifugal force that aids in the separation process.
Concentration criterion of ore is an index reflecting the difficulty level of ore separating by gravity concentration method. It can be calculated according to the density of high-density and low-density minerals in ores to be separated and the density of separating mediums, and the specific formula is:
This method concentrates the ore by passing it through an upward stream of water whereby all the lighter particles of gangue are separated from the heavier metal ore. This is a type of gravity separation. Magnetic …
