Separation is the main step of ore concentration. Metal recovery and productivity largely depend on the separation process and methods. Based on the physical and chemical properties of ore like its grain size, shape, color, density, friction coefficient, magnetism, moisture and electric property, several process and methods are available. Sep 25, 2017 Being noble, gold is less susceptible to corrosion in harsh environments than tin and can be mated and unmated for more cycles. Non-noble metals can oxidize and self-coat with what amounts to an insulator. Gold makes a contact with lower resistance than other metals, with better conductivity. Tin is more susceptible to noise on a signal line ...
