KNELSON, 3” Lab Model
The Knelson Concentrator takes advantage of the difference in specific gravity between gold and gangue minerals to realize a separation. The centrifugal force magnifies the difference in specific gravity and the rotor geometry facilitates retention of gold particles in preference to low SG particles that are rejected with the process rotor.
