Gravity Separation: Old Technique/New Methods
By Andrew Falconer. 2003
164 citations recorded by the source corpus.
A comparative review of various types of the main gravity separation devices, both in the recent past and present is presented. The application of each device is discussed in turn, with details of the variables involved and the respective advantages and disadvantages of the separators, together with explanatory diagrams illustrating the processes.

- A Review of the Occurrence and Promising Recovery Methods of Rare Earth Elements from Coal and Coal By-Products (2015, background): “Efficient concentrations of heavy minerals and elements such as gold and tin have been successfully achieved for particle sizes as small as 10 microns [81].”
- Life-Cycle Assessment of the Production of Rare-Earth Elements for Energy Applications: A Review (2014, background): “Some processes, such as gravitational separation, have little heating requirement and do not require chemicals, making their environmental impact minimal (Falconer, 2003).”
- A review of the beneficiation of rare earth element bearing minerals (2013, unknown): “Some separation of very fine particles can be achieved for minerals with very large differences in specific gravity, such as gold from silicate gangue, by employing centrifugal gravity separators such as the Knelson, Falcon and Mozley MultiGravity Separators (Falconer, 2003; Gee et al., 2005).”
