Abstract

In focus of the study are the results obtained in flotation testing of products of X-ray absorption separation that enhances 4–5 times WO3 content of feed for the next flotation stage. The authors estimate feasibility of reducing yield of original ore screenings (non-gradable size)–6 + 0 mm and its gravity concentration.
