MoreThe heavy mineral is separated from the quartz sand. In the case of spiral technology, the spiral troughs are angled and the heavy mineral sand moves to the inside and the lighter gangue minerals to the outside of the trough as the slurry travels down the spiral. Repulpers on the spirals aid in the recovery process.
