Gravity concentration is an established unit operation in mineral processing, where the separation of target minerals from gangue minerals is based on the difference in their specific gravity. Feasibility of gravity concentration is simplistically calculated, using the concentration criterion (C.C), which can be expressed as follows:

Spiral Operation. Slurry enters the spiral through a feed box and is introduced on to the spiral surface. Once on the spiral surface, the mineral grains settle and sort according to size, shape and specific gravity. Generally, the particles with the lowest specific gravity are carried with the water towards the outside wall of the spiral.
