Lately, I’ve been diving deeper into the issues surrounding ore processing, particularly how segregation techniques can sometimes lead to inefficient metal recovery… It seems that using methods like heavy media separation hasn’t delivered the expected results with certain mixed ores. Has anyone experimented with alternative methods or tools that improved their results? I’m curious to hear if any specific adjustments made a significant difference in your extraction rates.
I’ve run into similar issues with heavy media separation not meeting expectations, especially with complex ores — switching to froth flotation made a noticeable difference for us in recovery rates. Have you considered experimenting with that?
But switching to sensor-based sorting helped us tackle some of the issues with heavy media separation. We found it particularly useful for mixed ores, as it allowed for a more precise separation without major overhauls in equipment. Have you considered experimenting with any sort of automated sorting tech?
Have you considered trying some variations of gravity concentration? I’ve seen some cases where jigging worked wonders for mixed ores, like finding unexpected gold in a birthday cake mix! Those tools can be game-changers in the right situations.
