Mineral processing is a key part of mining. It turns raw ore into valuable stuff. By following steps like crushing, grinding, screening, separating, concentrating, and drying, we can get and clean valuable minerals. Using the right tools and new technology helps make mining good for business and the environment.
Introduction to Mineral Processing. Mineral processing is a field that contends with procedures and technologies used for separating valuable minerals from gangue or waste rock. It is a process that converts the extracted ore through mining activity into a more concentrated material, which serves as an input for the extractive metallurgy.
