Gold was primarily collected from alluvial deposits in the ancient world using gravity techniques and mercury (amalgams) [7], which are still employed today in small-scale alluvial gold resources. Large-scale hard rock mining first employed cyanide in the 1880s to extract commodities, including gold, silver, copper, and other precious metals ...
Dry Gravity Separation
In order to meet the a.m. considerations, FREN has been engaged in the field of dry gravity separation for almost a decade now. When we started test series in 1985 the applicability of dry gravity separation was limited to a grain size of some 0.3 mm. Comprehensive development work in DGS technology was being carried out by FREN to …

How to Separate Gold and Black Sands
I discussed your question with one of my process colleagues in order to get his input on separation of gold from black sands. It can be difficult to get a good separation as the black sands are quite dense. This is even more apparent when dealing with coarse sand and fine gold. I believe the i150 will be setup to run at a maximum speed of 50Hz.
