The Knelson Concentrator recovered up to 70 % of the gold content in the small scale mining mineral studied. Gold recovery depends on the type of mineral and its coarse grained gold content. The recovery of coarse grained gold was higher than 80%, while the recovery of fine grained gold (in this case < 40 pm) was only 32 %. 2.

Traditionally, once gold ore is mined from the ground, it's crushed to a powder and passed through a series of tanks in a process called leaching. Cyanide is then used to separate the gold from the ore into the leached solution. With the new process, the leaching and recovery process is done with chloride, one of two elements in table salt.
