Characterising Coarse Particle Gangue Densimetric Separation Response in Gold Bearing Sulfide Ore Broken by Different Fine Crushing Modes

Abstract

The separation behaviour of gangue during densimetric classification and the subsequent inherent propensity to pre-concentrate metal values in gold-bearing sulfide ore is reviewed in this thesis. From this review, the influence of the findings on both interpretative technique and the implied liberation induced by specified crushing mode is reported. This thesis aims to predict preferential grade by density deportment response in gravity separation approaches using metallurgical parameters for value component upgrade and recovery into concentrate.
