Mineral Processing: Beneficiation Operations and Process Optimization through Modeling is written for both individuals working in industry as well as students. Processing techniques for the recovery or extraction of a particular mineral are largely dictated by the physical, chemical, and mineral characteristics of that particular mineral. The design of the process flow sheet and the configuration of the circuit can vary from situation to situation, as well, and this book guides readers in formulating those flow sheets for various minerals in order to assist in selecting the right equipment for the process. The book serves as a guide to mineral processing plant engineers for flow sheet development of various minerals, including coal and steel plant waste. It additionally includes alternative flow sheets and process routes for plant design.
