The elemental distributions for both size fraction of +210-1410 and +1410-4760 μm are given in Figure 5.4 and 5.5. Fig. 5.6 shows that copper and silver exclusively report to the sink product. However, only approximately 20% of the gold can be found in the sink product, while approximately 70% of the gold is present in the materials within the specific gravity of 1.8 to 2.6. The fact that the gold was found in the entire range of the specific gravities studied indicates that the gravity separation for the materials within the size range of +1410-4760 μm is non-feasible, probably due to the high loss of gold. The high loss of the gold is likely to be attributed to its liberation from the non-metallic compounds and its particle size, as well as the flat plate geometry of the gold coating. As for the material with a size range of +210-1410 μm, more than 90% of the copper, silver and iron could be found in the sink as shown in Fig. 5.5. Unfortunately, there was still about a quarter of the gold that could not be concentrated in the sink product. If taking 1.4 as a specific gravity for a heavy liquid, approximately 20% of the floating product can be rejected; meanwhile, more than 90% of the metals studied are able to be recovered in the sink product at the liquid specific gravity of 2.2-2.6. Further studies on a pilot-scale heavy liquid separation of waste printed circuit boards are suggested to further investigate the effect of particle size, heavy liquid materials and its economic feasibility. 5.2.3 Shaking Table As mentioned in the previous section, due to the poor liberation of the valuable metals in the size range of +1410-4760 μm, as well as the size limitation of the shaking table, the materials that were utilized for the shaking table tests were within the size range of +210-1410 μm and -210 μm. Fig. 5.6 presents the product streams on the table. Ideally, low density, small particles, such as fiber glass and silica, will be collected in the tailing. A mixture of high-density small particles and low-density large particles is reported to the middling 1 and middling 2. The dense large particles, such as copper wires, are found in the concentrate stream. Table 5.4 and Table 5.5 present the metal concentrations and recoveries for the -210 μm materials using two table tilts, 0.5° and 0.8°. It is obvious that the concentration ratio increases with the increase of the table tilt. However, the significant decrease in the recoveries of gold, copper and iron occurred as the table tilt increased from 0.5° to 0.8°. Generally, at least 10% of the gold could be lost, which is likely to be explained by the fact that the particle size is so small 53
