Its most primitive separation processes, which probably date back as far as 4000 BC, appeared as soon as selective mining and handpicking were no longer enough to produce the desired concentration quality. Gravity concentration is at present the main concentration process in the mineral industry in terms of tons processed.

Gravity concentration is an established unit operation in mineral processing, where the separation of target minerals from gangue minerals is based on the difference in their specific gravity. Feasibility of gravity concentration is simplistically calculated, using the concentration criterion ( C.C ), which can be expressed as follows:
Gravity separation is one of the oldest concentration methods used in mineral beneficiation practices. It utilizes differences in the specific gravity of valuable and gangue minerals to achieve the separation. Taggart has proposed a "concentration criterion," which is widely used to evaluate the feasibility of gravity concentration:
Gravity separation has been suggested as an alternative to the use of mercury. However, many sites have pyrite and/or chalcopyrite. The gold is embedded in the ore in very fine particle sizes. That is not amenable to grinding using ball mills followed by gravity separation methods such as sluices or cyclonic concentrations.
The gravity concentration techniques are often considered where flotation practice is less efficient and operational costs are high due to extremely complicated physical, chemical and mechanical considerations. ... In addition, gravity separation is ineffective at separating very fine particles resulting in large losses of rare earths (Ming, 1993).
