mineral processing - mineral processing - Concentration: Concentration involves the separation of valuable minerals from the other raw materials received from the grinding mill. In large-scale operations this is accomplished by taking advantage of the different properties of the minerals to be separated. These properties can be colour (optical sorting), density (gravity separation), magnetic ...

A process for controlling the electrostatic separation of crushed chemically conditioned and triboelectrically charged potash salts in a free fall wherein the setting angles of deviating blades for the separated material are controlled by means of a process computer in dependency on the K 2 O-content of the residue which accumulates in the proximity of the negative, separating electrode.

An electrostatic separator is a device for separating particles by mass in a low energy charged beam.. An example is the electrostatic precipitator used in coal-fired power plants to treat exhaust gas, removing small particles that cause air pollution.. Electrostatic separation is a process that uses electrostatic charges to separate crushed particles of material.
