In the articles and describes the various types of equipment available to the mineralurgist, specifying their main applications and conditions of use.
For additional technical data, readers can also consult the tables in the "Further information" section. .
The choice of a separator will be guided by a number of criteria common to the different types of treatment (availability of energy and water, dry ore throughput, ease of maintenance, supply of wear parts, technological environment, etc.), but above all by three criteria: the magnetic properties of the minerals, their mineralogy and their particle size (defined here as the volume size dispersion...

In the past, simple chemical analyses were generally sufficient to characterize a rock or ore. Today, detailed mineralogical information has become important, if not essential, if we hope first to find the most appropriate treatment process for the ore under study, and then to optimize the performance of the mineralurgical plant. These objectives have become imperative as a result of the exploitation of ever poorer deposits...
