Mineral Beneficiation Operation
Sinoninetech deeply know that beneficiation operations are physical or mechanical unit operations where valuable mineral particles are separated from the mixture of liberated valuable mineral particles and gangue mineral particles. Every beneficiation operation is based on one or more physical properties in which valuable and gangue minerals differ in that property. Major beneficiation operations and the basis of separation are given in Table 1 Table 1 Beneficiation operations and basis of separation The following important terminology is used in Mineral Industries. 1 ） Concentrate: The valuable mineral product obtained from the beneficiation operation. 2 ） Tailing: The waste or gangue mineral product obtained from the beneficiation operation. Practically all the valuable mineral particles cannot be separated due to: ---- Incomplete liberation. ---- Inefficiency of beneficiation operation (. Hence both the concentrate and the tailing contain locked particles of...
