Gravity separation. The specific gravity of RE minerals is relatively high (2.9–7.2), while the density of gangue minerals (mainly silicate) is low. Therefore, gravity separation is an important technique for concentrating RE minerals. 51, 52 Extensively used gravity separation devices include shaking tables, conical separators, and spiral ...

Conventional gravity separation is ineffective in separating fine (<0.1 mm) coal and gangue minerals (Fig. 5) because the settling velocity difference under a normal gravitational field of 1G is small. Rather than gravity separation, surface-based separation techniques like flotation and oil agglomeration are commonly used.
