Based on different beneficiation principles, beneficiation methods are mainly divided into two categories: physical beneficiation and chemical beneficiation.
Physical Beneficiation Methods
Physical beneficiation utilizes differences in the physical properties of minerals for separation. Common methods include:
Magnetic Separation
Separates minerals based on differences in magnetic properties, widely used in iron ore and magnetic mineral beneficiation.
Gravity Separation
Separates minerals based on differences in density, commonly used in gold, tin, and tungsten ores.
Electrostatic Separation
Separates minerals based on differences in electrical conductivity, suitable for some rare metals and nonmetallic minerals.
Other Physical Beneficiation Methods
Including friction beneficiation, size separation, shape separation, and hand sorting,usually used as auxiliary or pre-selection processes.
Chemical Mineral Processing Methods
Chemical mineral processing separates and extracts minerals through chemical reactions or physicochemical processes. It mainly includes:
Flotation
One of the most commonly used chemical mineral processing methods, suitable for non-ferrous metals and complex ores.
Roasting
Altering the properties of minerals through high temperatures, creating conditions for subsequent beneficiation or smelting.
Leaching
Utilizing chemical solutions to dissolve and recover useful components; widely used in gold ore beneficiation.
