  • Abstract
    Previous experiments at laboratory scale showed that centrifugal gravimetry is able to recover gold at least as well as the usual mercury amalgamation methods used by small scale miners. From these results it was decided to build a pilot-plant with the help of a Belgian cooperation agency. This plant was built in 199–1997 near Copiapó, Chile, and has a capacity of 15 TPD.
