CONMMINUTION The minerals must be liberated from their interlocked state physically by comminution

Concentration

Optical Separation

Gravity Separation

Flotation Separation

Magnetic Separation

Electrostatic

SeparationThis process is used for

the concentration of particles

that have sufficiently different colours.

Is the most widely used method for

the concentratio

n of fine-grained

minerals. Is based on the differing degrees of attraction exerted on

various minerals by magnetic

fields.

Thickening

Drying

Is the Process of thickening (also

calling sedimentation), the solids in a

suspension settle under the

influence of gravity in a tank and form a thick

pulp.The removal of water from solid

materials by thermal drying

plays a significant role in modern

mineral processing.
