Advances in Gravity Gold Technology
The economic benefits of gravity recovery are application dependent, as shown in Table 19.2.For more than 95% of all applications, gravity recovery targets GRG to supplement cyanidation or flotation, thereby increasing overall gold recovery by 1–10% and reducing some of the costs associated with carbon stripping and regeneration.
