minerals processing

Minerals processing involves extracting valuable minerals from mined ore through a series of steps. First, ore is crushed and ground to release the minerals. Then, various methods like flotation, magnetic separation, or chemical treatments are used to separate the desirable minerals from waste material. The goal is to concentrate the mineral content to produce a pure product suitable for use in manufacturing or other industries. This process requires careful control and engineering to maximize recovery, ensure safety, and minimize environmental impact.
