PHYSICAL MODEL OF AGGLOMERATION OF THE DISPERSE PRECIOUS NOBLE METALS UNDER EFFECT OF LASER BEAM

Abstract

The effect of the continuous laser radiation was investigated on the mineral medium containing gold, not extracted by gravitational methods. A physical model of the gold agglomeration and concentration was put forward on the basis of theory of thermocapillary convection of disperse particles.
