Manganese is considered a relatively rare metal as concentrations of it in ore of commercial importance are geographically limited. In nature, manganese is found in the form of oxides, carbonates, and silicates. Manganese ores are complex in the sense that they not only consist of a complex oxide mineral assemblage but these minerals …
Spiral Separators for heavy minerals. Our gravity separators for heavy mineral applications, including iron ore, chrome, mineral sands and other high density minerals, separate particles in the size range 2 to 0.04 mm.. We have a range of spirals, from 3 to 12 turns, with high-, medium- and low-gradient profiles.
