Typical results in a coal beneficiation plant using spirals to treat fine coal indicated very little deterioration in performance with the under-slimed and deslimed feed material (−500 mesh) even when the feed contained ~50% of −500 mesh material. However, the clean coal ash reduced when the −500 mesh material was removed.
The iron ore industries of India are expected to bring new technologies to cater to the need of the tremendous increase in demand for quality ores for steel making. With the high-grade ores depleting very fast, the focus is on the beneficiation of low-grade resources. However, most of these ores do not respond well to the conventional …

11.5.3.1 Beneficiation. Mineral beneficiation begins with crushing and grinding of mined ore for near-complete separation of ore and gangue minerals as well as between ore minerals. Each processing step is designed to increase the grade (concentration) of the valuable components of the original ore.

Introduction. Ore beneficiation is the extraction of higher grade fraction from the mined uranium ore, by physical means such as kinetic processing and/or sorting. It is used for low-grade uranium ore to considerably reduce the amount of material that has to be processed in a uranium mill, while losing only a minor fraction of the contained ...
The beneficiation and extraction of Ta and Nb from columbite-tantalite ores becomes extremely challenging in the presence of radioactive elements such as thorium and uranium. In addition, these radioactive elements will complicate the transportation and handling of concentrates (Dampare et al., DOI: 10.5277/ppmp18153 2 of 10 Physicochem.
After beneficiation, the copper grade increased from 8.5–9.5% to 24–27%, respectively. The recovery was also increased from 50 to 54%, respectively [ 41 ]. It should be mentioned that, for coarser size fractions, gravity separation using …
The techniques used for upgrading or beneficiation of low-rank coals are physical, chemical and physicochemical beneficiations (Behera et al.2018; Qu et al.2015; Barma 2019). Physical and chemical beneficiation techniques are more selective for minerals separation and they not economical in terms of cost. These techniques are less efficient
