Centrifuge Gold Mining Concentrator

Descripción del producto

The Gold Centrifugal Concentrator is a relatively new type of gravity concentration equipment. The machines utilise the principles of a centrifuge to enhance the gravitational force experienced by feed particles to effect separation based on particle density. The key components of the unit are a cone shaped concentrate bowl, rotated at high speed by an electric motor and a pressurized water jacket encompassing the bowl. Feed material, typically from a ball mill discharge or cyclone underflow bleed, is fed as a slurry toward the centre of the bowl from above. The feed slurry contacts the base plate of the vessel and due to its rotation, is thrust outward. The outer extremities of the concentrate bowl house a series of ribs and between each pair of ribs is a groove. During operation the lighter material flows upward
Over the grooves and heavy mineral particles (usually of economic value) become trapped within them. Pressurized water is injected through a series of tangential water inlets along the perimeter of each groove to maintain a fluidized bed of particles in which heavy mineral particles can be efficiently concentrated.

Centrifugal Concentrator can be used not only for placer gold mining, but also for hard rock mining to recover the natural gold, replacing amalgamation, and recover gold from the old tailings.

Application shows that the recovery can be as high as *9%, and the concentrating ratio is up to 1, **0 times. In recovering the natural gold in lode ore with *5% of the ore having a milling size *0.**4mm, the recovery for the natural gold is up to *8%, For the natural gold of 0.**4mm in particle size, the gold recovery is *7%. The equipment is patented in China.
