Key Features & Capabilities

High Recovery

The process uses gravity separation to recover gold and associated heavy minerals from placer gold ore, with combined separation methods for further mineral recovery.

Energy Efficient

Gravity separation is an effective and economical method for placer gold recovery, helping reduce unnecessary processing cost.

Automated Control

The line can be configured with washing, screening, desliming, sluice separation, jigging, shaking table concentration, magnetic separation, and heavy mineral recovery systems.

Modular Design

The process can be customized according to gold particle size, mud content, gravel content, ore washing requirement, and final recovery method.

Complete Process Flow

01

Ore Sand

Raw sand gold ore enters the beneficiation process from the mine.

02

Crushing

Large ore is crushed into smaller size for better liberation.

03

Classification I

The material is initially classified to separate coarse and fine fractions.

04

Gravel Separation

Large gravel and boulders are separated from the ore stream.

05

Large Gold Stone Discarding

Oversized gold-bearing stones are collected and discarded.

06

Fine Ore Sand

Fine ore sand moves forward to the roughing stage.

07

Roughing

Primary concentration is carried out to recover gold-bearing rough concentrate.

08

Rough Concentrate

Gold-bearing rough concentrate is obtained from the roughing stage.

09

Cleaning

Impurities are removed to improve the grade of the gold concentrate.

10

Sand Gold Concentrate

High-grade sand gold concentrate is obtained as the final product. Row 11

11

Medium Ore

Medium-grade material is returned to the process or sent for special treatment.

12

Tailings from Roughing

Low-grade material from roughing is discharged as tailings for further classification.

13

Classification II

Roughing tailings are further classified for secondary recovery.

14

Scavenging

Fine ore sand from secondary classification is treated to recover remaining gold.

15

Final Tailings Discarding

Final waste material is discarded after secondary recovery, while rough concentrate may return for re-treatment.

Measurable Business Benefits

70–74%

Two-Stage Sluice Recovery

The file states that the gold recovery rate of two-stage sluice separation is about 70–74%.

75–80%

Higher Combined Gravity Recovery

Sluice roughing, jig scavenging, and shaking table cleaning can increase recovery to about 75–80%.

20–40%

Waste Stone Removal

Screening can remove 20–40% waste stones such as gravel and pebbles, improving downstream separation efficiency.

<0.1 mm

Fine Slime Control

Fine mud below 0.1 mm is usually removed because it contains little gold and interferes with mechanical separation.
