Beneficiation of Elazig-Kefdag chromite by Multi Gravity Separator

Abstract

In this study, the possibility of beneficiation of chromite in the Elazig-Kefdag region by Multi-Gravity Separator was investigated. The results of beneficiation studies showed that commercial concentrate containing 52.14% Cr2O3 was obtainable with a 69.57% rate of recovery. The optimum operation parameters determined for the concentration of chromite ores are as follows; a washwater flowrate of 3 1/min, shake amplitude of 15mm, shake frequency of 4.8 cps, tilt angle of 4°and drum speed of 220 rpm.
