Journal of Mining Science Aims and scope

Abstract

Possible mechanisms of mineral particle disintegration under the action of high-power electromagnetic pulses on gold-containing sulfides and enrichment products are described theoretically for the first time. The results of experimental investigations are presented, and the theoretical substantiation is given for the effect of synergetic influence of high-power electromagnetic pulses with a wide range of their parameters and pore moisture on the opening of rebellious gold-containing raw material of different type and subsequent gold extraction.
