How do we extract minerals? - USGS

Once at the surface, the material is sent to a mill to separate the ore from the waste rock. Lower grade metal ores found closer to the surface can be profitably mined using surface mining methods, which generally cost less than underground methods. Many industrial minerals are also mined this way, as these ores are usually low in value and ...

Feb 26, 2010· The 'mineral dressing' industry (i.e. the concentration of valuable ore materials out of its unavoidable mix with unwanted solids) is a good example of the employment of a very wide range of separation equipment, for use once the mined material has been comminuted to the state where the individual particles are each largely composed of one or ...

Classification and separation - Minerals

Separating the ore increases efficiency throughout the mine as it reduces the amount of material to be processed. Resulting in maximum efficiency, capacity and long wear life for all classification, sizing and separation applications.

Introduction to Mineral Processing or Beneficiation

Jan 12, 2018· In broader terms, mineral processing consists of two functions. Firstly, it involves the preparation and liberation, of the valuable minerals from waste minerals and secondly, the separation these values into two or more products, called concentrates. The term separation in this case is synonymous with concentration.

Heavy Mineral Analysis - Technique - Heavy mineral separation

The separation is done in a separating funnel in a temperature controlled room of 20°C. The "heavy" grains will accumulate in the bottom of the funnel above the pinch clip and the "lighter" grains float to the surface. After 6 – 8 hours of separation the pinch clip is opened and the heavy minerals are drained onto a filter paper.
