摘要
The paper supports the generally accepted view that modern generation spiral concentrators have a place in the beneficiation process flowsheet of a wide range of minerals, and gives examples of recent installations. These include environmental applications in the areas of contaminated soil cleaning and coal dump reclamation. Comments are made on the significant effect that advances in polymer technology has had on the manufacturing techniques involved and how this has influenced changes in spiral design, construction and application. The current development effort towards eliminating laminate construction for spiral trough manufacture is discussed. Suggestions are made regarding other applications and circuitry in which the equipment could be effectively utilised.
