Separation of the ore particle by gravity is dependent on two factors namely (i) settling rate of the particles, and (ii) difference in specific gravity when compared against the medium in which they are being separated, this gives differential settling rate and has been termed the 'concentration …

 — The REFLUX™ Classifier is a recently developed water-based gravity separation technology that is already being used worldwide to beneficiate particles above 0.100 mm in size. This paper reports tests performed on an ultra-fine iron ore with nominal top size of 0.106 mm, but with 59 wt-% being below 0.038 mm in size.

This method concentrates the ore by passing it through an upward stream of water whereby all the lighter particles of gangue are separated from the heavier metal ore. This is a type of gravity separation. Magnetic Separation: This involves the use of magnetic properties of either the ore or the gangue to separate them.
