Gravity Separation Equipment
Gravity separation equipment is employed to separate quartz from other minerals based on differences in density. This method is particularly effective when dealing with coarse particles. Jig machines, spiral separators, and shaking tables are commonly used for gravity separation in quartz mining operations. The principles of gravity separation rely on the fact that quartz, being heavier than many impurities, settles more quickly under the influence of gravity. Careful control of variables such as water flow and particle size is essential to optimize the efficiency of gravity separation processes, ensuring a high-purity quartz concentrate is obtained for further processing.
