Course Objective

This basic course is to give an idea to engineers with Physical Separation Methods in Mineral Processing. Firstly, importance of Gravity concentration and magnetic separation in mineral processing will underline. Than Methods of the gravite conventartion and magnetic separation will illustrate. And Last development of the gravity concentartion and magnetic separation devices will shown

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To define to engineers with Physical Separation Methods in Mineral Processing
2   To be able to express gravimetric enrichment methods and difference to other methods
3   To be able to express Last development of the gravity concentartion and magnetic separation devices
4   To distinguish the selection criteria between handpicking method, enrichment by gravity difference and the equipment used (heavy medium separation, separation by jigs, MGS, Falcon concentrator, spirals and cones) which may decide to elect a gravimetric method according to the type of ore
5   To be able to develop flowsheet options involving pyhsical separation methods for different ore types.
