The mineral tantalite has an average density of 8.0 g/cm 3 and is usually denser, in comparison to columbite's average density of 6.3 g/cm 3, and hence similar specific gravity (SG) comparisons.The variations in SG, density, colour, transparency and streak are the main physical property/characteristic differences between the two …
The specific gravity of chromite ore is 4.1~4.7g/cm 3, while that figure of associated gangue and iron silicate minerals is generally 2.7~3.2g/cm 3. Therefore, we can utilize the difference in specific gravity between minerals to recover chromite with gravity separation equipment such as shaking tables, spiral chutes, and jigs.

Abstract. Beneficiation of ores by gravity concentration has been practiced for thousands of years, and while no longer the sole mainstay of concentration that it once was, and now having to share with newer developed processes, it is still one of the major methods that is in widespread use.

The effect of the current is lessened as you go to the side or get farther away from this point, the current is much the same within the fine ore storage area. The difference here is the faster settling fine material is being pulled toward the exit first. This means that as the bin is emptied there will be less and less fine material in the feed.
Shaking table separation is the gravity concentration process in which the combined action of the asymmetric reciprocating motion of the table and the water flow on the thin inclined layer separates the mineral particles according to their densities on a wide inclined table. ...
