Abstract

In mineral processing, the recovery and/or concentration of the value components cannot occur in one operational stage, necessitating the use of separation circuits. The component to be separated is usually distributed at different concentrations and different particle sizes, resulting in different levels of recovery in terms of the particle size and concentration. Typically, more than one value component ...
