Semi-Continuous Variable Gravity Knelson Concentrator The above flowsheet illustrates a conventional Semi Continuous Knelson Concentrator installation in a closed grinding circuit followed by downstream chemical processes such as C.I.P., C.I.L. or flotation. This configuration is an industry standard and typically yields overall recovery

capacity circuits. Recently, however, gravity concentration has been revisited and, in particular, as a complementary process to flotation. This, Gekko states, reflects, in part, the increasing costs of flotation chemicals.

This thesis presents a novel, chemical-free method of extracting Yukon placer gold from various secondary and tertiary gravity middlings. This method exploits the differences in relative malleability rather than density. At a certain point in gravity gold processing, the middling material contains too many high density minerals to be amenable to further gold extraction through gravity ...

The use of continuous gravity recovery in combination with a controlled breakage fine crushing and screening system followed by flash flotation has been incorporated into the Python processing plant.
