    in Flexicone concentrators the liquefaction of the mineral bed in the grooves occurs due to the compression of the flexible cone from the outside by three rollers, which causes the particles in the grooves to approach and move away from the axis of rotation by 3-4 mm during one revolution of the cone 3 times. At the same time, a varying centrifugal force from 0 to 200 G acts on each particle. In addition, in our latest development, an easily installed magnetic system for removing the magnetic fraction also makes it possible to enhance the process of thinning the mineral bed due to the presence of a magnetic fraction in the pulp.

      There were different techniques for different kinds of golds. On the one hand they were mining for nuggets in quartz veins, thats where you often see the old mining shafts. Other techniques used sluices made from different materials where they would use water to wash away the light sand and only the heavy gold concentrate is kept in the riffles of the sluices. The material would be normally taken from river beads from rivers which carry the gold that is getting washed out of the quartz veins.
      I am not an expert so take it with a grain of salt, but those are the general techniques I know of.

      Most likely it's recycled or destroyed. Luckily it would be pretty easy to tell if they were just flushing it down the toilet. You'd have a lot of dead rats all of a sudden.

      it's likely removed in the further refinement process, Gold is pretty commonly found in what are known as "complex ores" where you can find more then one valuable mineral, so the "waste" would be shipped off to a different facility with the equipment to extract other valuable minerals.
