Effect of Operating Parameters on the Performance of …
Spiral concentrator is one of the simple yet efficient methods of mineral beneficiation which sorts particles according to their specific gravity differences. First commercial spiral concentrator was used to treat chromite ore in 1943. Later in 1943, its use was extended to the mineral sand beneficiation.

2. Spiral chute tail throwing-shaker beneficiation process. If the production site of the concentrator is limited, the spiral chute tailing-shaking process can be considered to treat chromite. The specific process is as follows: the raw ore is ground to the required particle size by a ball mill and then enters the spiral chute for sorting.

Petrogenesis of the massive chromitite layer from the
The Jacurici Complex hosts the largest chromite deposit in Brazil in an up to 8-m-thick chromitite layer within a tectonically segmented 300-m-thick intrusion. The ore has been interpreted as the result of crustal contamination-driven crystallization in a magma conduit. This study addresses the stratigraphy, mineralogical and textural relationships, …
