A New Approach to Electrification of Powdered Minerals by Electron Beam Irradiation

  • Published:
Journal of Mining Science Aims and scope

Abstract

The investigation results of electrifying quartz, calcite, iron ore, and magnetite concentrate under the action of accelerated electrons are presented. The irradiation doses are obtained for creating the maximal electric charge. The characteristics of dielectric electrification are studied.
