Therefore, one must specify a second number, the confidence, or probability that the true ...

Taking Hongtoushan copper ore, Sishanling iron ore, and Dandong gold ore as research objects, the microwave cracking characteristics of ores with different morphologies (bulk/particle samples) and ...

As the size range of the feed to the spiral becomes smaller and smaller, the separation will be more accurate. Typically, the ideal feed size range for spiral is + 75–1690 micron . In the case of chromite ore, the most suitable spiral efficiency can be obtained in the size range of + 75–3000 micron . Due to the fact that the separation ...

This paper will review the amenability of ores to coarse particle barren gangue rejection for fine crush sizes in the pumpable particle size range (i.e., particles between 5 mm and 0.3 mm in size). The liberation of oxide gangue achieved during crushing is evaluated by proxy using sink-float analysis and the deportments of gold, sulfur, and ...
