The design, construction and testing of a simple shaking table for gold recovery: laboratory testing and field trials

Abstract

Technical report for DFID/ BGS Technology Development Research (TDR) project R6226 "Mitigation of mining-related mercury pollution hazards", was to provide improved methods for gold recovery for small-scale miners to replace mercury amalgamation. This report describes the research carried out to design, construct and test a cheap, simple shaking table that could be produced for use by small-scale miners in developing countries
