Mineral processing can involve four general types of unit operation: comminution – particle size reduction; sizing – separation of particle sizes by screening or classification; concentration by taking advantage of physical and surface chemical properties; and dewatering – solid/liquid separation. In all of these processes, the most important considerations are the economics of the proce

Read More2016.1.1 The size ratio should vary with the density difference between the minerals to be separated, with smaller density differences requiring a closer sized feed. The size ratio for a range of concentration criteria from 1.28 to 3.94 is shown in Figure 16.6 .
Read MoreAlso known as enrichment, the concentration of ores is the method of removing impurities and other unwanted particles from the ore. The removal method of the gangue particles or the unwanted particles depends on the difference in physical or chemical properties of

Read More2013.6.10 The distribution of mass by density for the two ores was measured as follows. For the EH ore, a representative sample of 0.5 to 1.0 kg of each sized fraction was taken and the density of every particle was measured by Archimedes' principal in water
