Coastal Placer Mining: Gravity Separation Process

Coastal placer deposits contain valuable minerals like ilmenite, zircon, cassiterite, and tantalite-niobite. Efficient recovery requires specialized gravity separation processes that leverage density differences between minerals.

Coastal Placer Mining Key Equipment

1.Trommel Screen

Performs washing and classification of raw ore, removing clay and organic impurities while sizing material for subsequent processing.

2.Spiral Chute

Separates minerals based on density differences, concentrating heavy minerals like ilmenite and zircon in the inner rings.

3.Shaking Table

Provides precise separation of mineral mixtures through asymmetrical motion and water flow, producing high-grade concentrates.
