Chapter 10. Gravity Concentration
Gravity concentration is the separation of minerals based upon the difference in density. Techniques of gravity concentration have been around for millennia. Some believe that the legend of the Golden Fleece from Homer's Odyssey was based upon a method of gold recovery, which was to place an animal hide (such as a sheep's fleece) in a ...
