Flour Gold Recovery

Flour gold can be defined as ultra-fine gold found in a low micron size fraction, often smaller than 74 microns or 200 mesh.  Reality is that with today’s fine gold recovery equipment, this is a low ways away from the elusive microscopic gold small prospectors want to know how to recover.   Falcon’s iCon gravity … Read more

Eddy Current Separator

Several types of eddy current separators have been developed in recent years. These separators range from slide chutes lined with alternating permanent magnets to electromagnetic circuits that generate a pulsed field when conducting material is sensed. The illustrated rotating permanent magnetic field eddy-current separator has proven to be most effective in view of capital cost, … Read more

Air Swept Mill

In an air-swept mill, the body of which does not differ significantly in general design from a trunnion overflow mill, a powerful stream of air is passed through the mill and removes the finer particles produced by the grinding process. This stream of powder-laden air is then passed through the classifier and the “oversize” material, … Read more

Analytical Balance

Analytical Balance Principle In this place it will be sufficient to describe the usual chemical balance, designed to carry in each pan a load up to 100 gms. This balance can be obtained at a reasonable figure, and sensitive to 1/10 of a milligram (0.0001 gm.). In the section on Assaying the student will find … Read more

Core-Oven

The Core-Oven tests here described were made to obtain information regarding costs, efficiency, etc. of baking cores in an oil-fired oven, and two electric ovens, which were installed, early in 1920, in the core room of The Ohio Brass Co. and were used almost continuously during the rest of that year. Operating costs were rather high … Read more
