Challenges Related to the Processing of Fines in the Recovery of
In order to increase the recovery of PGMs by flotation, it is necessary to optimise the liberation of the key minerals in which the platinum group elements (PGEs) are contained which include sulphides, arsenides, tellurides, and ferroalloys among others, while at the same time ensuring the optimal depression of gangue minerals. In order to achieve this, comminution …

In conventional better flotation indicators, it is necessary to control the particle size of mineral particles to 10-10μm. Coarse particle flotation generally refers to direct flotation recovery of ore particles with a particle size more than 150 μm.Has the following advantages: (1) Carry out pre-selection and discarding of tailings on raw ore, reduce the amount of ore processing, and …

Process intensification in the separation of fine minerals
The transition to this new global economy will, unavoidably, place unprecedented demands on the production of minerals. Data from Schipper et al. (2018) suggests that in the next 25 years the amount of copper produced through mining will exceed all of the copper produced in human history, neglecting the constraints from "peak copper" (Kerr, 2014).

Application of Enhanced Gravity Separators for Fine Particle Processing
Abstract Beneficiation of low-grade ore is of critical importance in order to meet the growing demand for coal and mineral industries. But, low-grade ores require fine grinding to obtain the desired liberation of valuable minerals. As a result, production of fine particles makes the beneficiation process difficult through conventional gravity separators. Hence, alternative …
