Journal of Mining Science Aims and scope

Abstract

The experimental research into intensification of copper–nickel ore concentration by flotation and magnetic separation shows that pretreatment of ore before milling by accelerated electrons results in the increased yield of –0.071 mm size and in enhanced recovery of useful components in the concentrate. Magnetic separation improves comprehensive utilization of mineral raw materials.
