STUDYING THE REGULARITIES OF MINERALS SEPARATION ON THE SEPARATOR’S SHELF BY FRICTION AND ELASTICITY (SPRUT)

Abstract

The friction enrichment is based on the difference in
the value of friction sliding minerals.
An indispensable part of any friction enrichment
machine is an inclined surface (shelf). The shelf action is brought to slowing the motion of bodies, so
that the difference in bodies velocities caused by different values of the friction coefficient can be detected when the length of an inclined plane is different. This permits to make a bundle of components
when moving on the shelf and to form a parabolic
trajectory of their movement when crawling down
the inclined plane.
