Copper ore density separations by float/sink in a dry sand …

For the ARC-1 ore, one could conceive of a separation at 2350 kg/m 3, which would remove about 50% of the feed ore mass as gangue which contains very little copper. Based on these observations, target separation point densities for the dry dense medium separations have been chosen as 3300 kg/m 3 for the EH ore and 2350 kg/m 3 …
