Beschreibung:
Beneficiation of run-of-mine ore is a process of value addition through discarding the unwanted gangue bearing minerals from the wanted minerals. Tangible benefits are savings in freight and energy, reduced loss of metal, mineral conservation, and less environmental burden by filling the mine using gangue bearing minerals. This concise book present the essentials mineral beneficiation principles and unit operations. It explains definitions and techniques, along with basic formulas and practical examples. A simple reference for students and professionals in mining and mineral engineering.
