beneficiation

Beneficiation is the process of improving the quality of raw materials, such as minerals or ores, to make them more suitable for use. It involves separating valuable components from waste material through processes like crushing, grinding, magnetic separation, or flotation. The goal is to increase the concentration of the desired mineral, making extraction and manufacturing more efficient and cost-effective. Essentially, beneficiation refines raw mined material to produce a higher-grade product, reducing waste and optimizing resource utilization.
