Contribution to the Theory of Gravitational Enrichment

Abstract

The results of modeling the experimentally proven probabilistic model of layer density distribution in the jig bed enable the use of part of this model to calculate the results enriched by the non-ideal with better accuracy than the currently used methods related mainly to the use of separation curves. This paper presents the theoretical justification of the new method of the proposed calculations, significantly extending the application of the commonly used calculations for ideal enrichment for many years. Using the Fuerstenau curves to present the results of the calculations made, it was found that these curves are not α-insensitive as they are presented in the literature.
