Hydrocyclones an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Hydrocyclones demonstrate a trait that is useful for gold millsminerals with higher specific gravities have a progressively finer cutsize (whether this is desired or not). In plants with freemilling gold, this leads to gold concentrating in the milling circuits (see Figure ). On a sizebysize basis, concentrations of up to 100 times can occur in cyclone underflow.
