Mineral Processing
In mineral processing, ores must go through a number of different operations to obtain the final products. Thus, mineral processing involves four major steps or stages: (1) comminution or size reduction, (2) size separation, (3) concentration or beneficiation by taking advantage of physical properties, and (4) dewatering.

The rheology effect in grinding operations was the first to draw the attention of researchers to the correlation between rheology and mineral processing operations. It was found in 1985 that the grinding medium tended to be centrifugal when the slurry viscosity exceeded a specific value (named the critical value), which resulted in the balls ...
Mineral Processing
Mineral processing, also known as ore dressing, mineral beneficiation, or mineral engineering, is defined as the science and art of separating valuable metallic and nonmetallic minerals from unusable gangues.
