The treatment of mined material, making it more concentrated or richer
The hand-picking or washing of metal from the crushed ore
The process of separating a wanted mineral from other material that also is contained in the matrix In the case of phosphate, this means separating clay and sand from the phosphate rock A mechanical process called washing is used to separate the larger phosphate pebbles from the ore A process called flotation is used to recover the finer particles of phosphate from sand
crushing and separating ore into valuable substances or waste by any of a variety of techniques
Treatment of raw material (such as pulverized ore) to improve physical or chemical properties in preparation for further processing. Beneficiation techniques include washing, sizing of particulates, and concentration (which involves the separation of valuable minerals from the other raw materials received from a grinding mill). In large-scale operations, various distinguishing properties of the minerals to be separated (e.g., magnetism, wettability, density) are exploited to concentrate the desirable components. Beneficiation also is used in the ceramics and clay industries. See also flotation; mining; mineral processing
The preparation and treatment of ore for recovery of mineral commodities Beneficiation includes, but is not limited, to crushing, sizing, drying and leaching
