Mineral processing as refined as it is today done with bare hands and a hammer at the start. The process was hectic, and it required great concentration as the size of the particles of the mineral could be small too. The process has remained the same, but the machinery has seen its technological advances. Now there are many mineral processing machinery manufacturers in India.
The process of mineral processing comprises mainly four general types. These types can be further divided into subtypes. But we will talk about the four types only.
-
Comminution
Comminution is the reduction of the size of materials. Grinding and crushing are the two main processes of comminution. Crushing is normally done with the raw ore whereas grinding is done after the crushing process has been completed.
-
Sizing
Sizing is the term used for the separation of particles as per their different sizes. The simplest way to do so is to pass the particle through a screen or number of screens. These screens may be composed of bar screens, radial sieves, vibratory screens, or many more options.
-
Concentration
There are many ways to increase the concentration of the wanted mineral. The choice of the method depends upon the physical and surface chemical properties of the material and gangue.
-
Dewatering
The process of removing water absorbed by the particles of the material which increases its pulp density is known as dewatering. This is mainly done so that ore is handled easily, and a high concentration of ore is received which can be transported conveniently.
These four processes can be completed using different machinery. The choice of machinery depends on the ore to be extracted.
