Non-Chemical vortex, liquid, or air.

[labworks]

Looking at a seperation method for black chip grinding ( powdered) by passing the material threw a air, or liquid vortex, it should beable to seperate out the metals from the ground up resin. even if it took a few days to run a several pound lot i wouldnt care, because durring its run, i would be prepairing the next lot.

If this hasnt been tried, than i guess i know what my next step will be, I did a seach on the site to see if this subject had been discussed, but didnt find anything under "vortex", that related to this. I appologize now, if i wasnt thorough .

other factors that i will take into consideration durring the run, air speed , or liquid speed, shape of cone, and hight of cone.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Rusty has a real good thread going on his home-built centrifuge in the 'Build your own Equipment' section: Home built centrifuge - gold concenrates.

Sounds like an interesting approach. Fortunately, used flowmeters are cheap, if that's in your ideation of things. Adjusting the shape of the cone doesn't sound so easy. Keep us apprised, please!

Try searching for cyclone, that has been discussed at least.
