The grease that traps diamonds is a mixture of vaseline and paraffin or petroleum wax. Diamonds can also be floated by oils as well, as is done in most diamond recovery plant circuits. A neat way to separate gold from a non magnetic concentrate is to use inductivity. Gold is highly conductive so it will react more than other minerals to a high intensity magnetic field, which sets up eddy currents in the gold and makes it "magnetic" when it moves over the field. It must move through the field or the effect will not be observed. This is why it is so hard to separate magnetite from gold with a magnet in a flow. Magnetic induction is the same principle they use for braking on street cars. The longest and most difficult separation attempted recently is the separation of gold from paper which has been going on for the last ten years or more. It is hard to say if this will be achieved with any great success. EC<:-}
