Gold Ore Beneficiation Cyclones
August.08,2025
As a highly efficient separation device, cyclones demonstrate unique advantages in gold ore beneficiation. A cyclone utilizes centrifugal force to separate solid particles by density or size. Typically composed of a cylindrical and conical structure, the material rotates at high speed within the cyclone, generating strong centrifugal forces that cause heavy particles to move toward the walls and exit at the bottom, while light particles escape from the top. Depending on their structure and application, cyclones can be categorized as hydrocyclones and short-cone cyclones.
In gold ore beneficiation, cyclones are primarily used for grading in the grinding stage and for separating coarse concentrates by flotation. The use of cyclones can improve gold ore separation efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and contribute to increased gold recovery. Cyclones are particularly effective when processing ore containing mud and fine gold particles.
