In many lithium ore beneficiation plants, it is a common practice to de-slime the ore prior to flotation. De-sliming is typically carried out to remove the −20 µm size fraction to improve selectivity of separation because slimes are detrimental to the flotation circuit (Bale and May, 1989). As is the case in many operations, de-sliming is ...

The iron ore mines in Australia are all open cut with the ore extracted through conventional drilling and blast mining methods. However, because some of the deposits are soft and free digging, surface miners are used at a number of mines, particularly in FMG's operations. ... In many instances, China's iron ore beneficiation …
Beneficiation may involve physical or chemical processes. Often, as in the case of panning for gold, the desired ore or metal is denser than the gangue. The latter can be suspended in a stream of water and flushed away. The iron ore magnetite, Fe 3 O 4, is ferrimagnetic. It can be separated from abundant deposits of taconite by grinding to a ...
