The 1960s was the peak decade for the spiral concentrator. About two-thirds of all applications were for the iron ore industry. Several large engineering and construction companies designed and built spiral plants, under agreement with Humphreys, to process iron ore in Canada, West Africa, and the United States.

Gravity Spiral Concentrator Working Principle. The gravity spiral circuit is designed to extract and concentrate "coarse gold' from the recirculating load in the mill grinding circuit and hence prevent a build-up within that circuit and the eventual escape of some of that gold into the C.I.L. tanks and thereon into the final tails. (See fig. 4)

Performance of spiral concentration operation at different operating variables was analyzed for the feldspar-mica separation [28]. But it can be observed that, limited literature is available on recovery of ultrafine minerals by using spiral concentrator. ...

Chapter 1. Spiral §1. 1 Spiral A spiral concentrator uses gravity to separate particles of different densities. It is used globally in the mineral processing industry. It is one of the most effective, low-cost devices for the gravity beneficiation of ores. Manufactured from lightweight, corrosion and abrasion resistant materials, spirals require …

One spiral concentrator occupies about 0.37 m2 (4 ft2) of floor space and about 2.1 m (7 ft) of headroom measured from feed to discharge box. The optimum particle-size range of feed particles for spirals is about 10 to 200 mesh (2 to 0.074 mm). As the feed slurry flows down the spiral channel, the particles with the highest specific gravity ...

The spiral concentrator used to assess the CC pre-concentration is a 5 turn WWW-Plus spiral from Mineral Technologies(Perth, Western Australia) with a diameter of 700 mm [19,20,21]. The set-up for the test is similar to the one used by Liu et al. and Sadeghi et al. . The slurry feed rate to the spiral is 30 L/min at a solids concentration of …

Water Power Is Precious, Like Gold. Water that is pumped into the bowl drives the lighter material to swirl up and through the hole at the top of the center of the cone. The bowl in its entirety resembles a bundt cake pan. The tower (cone) base is where the fine gold is collected. The bowl sits on a 3–5-gallon bucket that gathers the drained ...

Since the classification in a spiral concentrator depends on particle specific gravity and size, the operation of spirals can be analyzed using size recovery or partition curves (Bazin et al., 2014). Spiral concentrators possess multiple design parameters for a variety of applications. The design parameters that govern the performance of the ...

First commercial spiral concentrator was used to treat chromite ore in 1943. Later in 1943, its use was extended to the mineral sand beneficiation. Since then Spiral design has been progressively modified to improve operational features, extend the range of applications etc (well described by Davies et. al 1991).

It was observed that in a spiral concentrator mica could be separated from feldspar owing to its laminar morphology. Accordingly, it was found that particle size and solid contents had significant effect on the separation. Best results were obtained with feed solid content of 15% by weight for the particle size fraction of −212 + 74 μm.
