The dressing or processing of ores for the purpose of (1) regulating the size of a desired product, (2) removing unwanted constituents, and (3) improving the quality, purity, or assay grade of a desired product. 3, record 3, English, - beneficiation
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Beneficiation ... consists of two fundamental operations: the determination that an individual particle is either a mineral or a gangue particle (selection); and the movement of selected particles via different paths (separation) into the concentrate and tailing products. 4, record 3, English, - beneficiation
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Beneficiation reduces the ore bulk and leaves a high-grade concentrated product. This is accomplished by employing a variety of processes based on differences in certain mineral properties, such as specific gravity, magnetic properties, and chemical properties. 5, record 3, English, - beneficiation
