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 1, English, - beneficiation
Record number: 1, 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 1, English, - beneficiation
Record number: 1, 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 1, English, - beneficiation
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 CONT
Recrystallization ... results in upgrading the quality of ore for concentration, beneficiation, and metallurgical recovery by increasing grain size of the ore minerals. 6, record 1, English, - beneficiation

Ensemble de divers procédés mécaniques, physiques ou physico-chimiques ayant pour but d'augmenter la concentration en élément utile des minerais, de rendre ceux-ci plus faciles à traiter par les processus ultérieurs des réactions métallurgiques, et enfin d'éliminer des parties stériles, telles que les gangues, avant les traitements d'élaboration. 3, record 1, French, - valorisation
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
La demande croissante en substances minérales, ayant pour corollaire l'exploitation des gisements de plus faible teneur, a conduit à développer des méthodes d'enrichissement de minerai de plus en plus sélectives [...] 3, record 1, French, - valorisation
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Dans les formations anciennes [...], on trouve fréquemment [...] d'énormes étendues de quartzites ferrifères, les taconites [...] à teneur assez faible (25 à 45 % Fe), exigeant donc un enrichissement préalable. 4, record 1, French, - valorisation
