Magnetic separators exploit the difference in magnetic properties between the minerals in a deposit and are used to concentrate a valuable mineral that is magnetic (e.g., […]
The run-of-mine (ROM) material requires processing in order to make it a marketable product and therefore it is directed for mineral processing. Mineral processing treatments are based on separation processes.
Physicochemical properties of minerals and other solids are used in concentration operations. Froth flotation, gravity concentration, and magnetic and electrostatic concentration are used extensively in the industry.
