The Cerattepe (Artvin) mine contains volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits in northeastern Turkey. This is a kuroko type deposit located Late Cretaceous volcanic, intrusive and sedimentary rocks, has structure with dense alteration stages. In this study, batch flotation tests were carried out to determine the behavior of new sample (mix ore), that was combination two different ores behavi...

Clay minerals are one of the most utilized among non-metals. These hydrous aluminum silicates with a layer (sheet-like) structure. Kaolin is aluminosilicate mineral thin platelet extensively used in paper, paint, and many other industries. Wet processing kaolin will not be sustainable over long term because global freshwater resources becoming scarce. Hence, process necessary that does consume ...

The modern boron applications have adsorbed the mineral processors’ attention to improve typical mineral’s (BM) beneficiation methods. In this regard, dry treatment and pretreatment processes—such as magnetic separation calcination environmentally friendly methods, due their minimal or zero adverse effect on environment—need more consideration. Over years, anionic flotation has become main tech...

Mining and processing phosphate ore are among the essential branches of economy in some developing countries, including Algeria. Conventional beneficiation methods can harm environment by consuming tremendous amounts water resources (during washing flotation), potentially hazardous chemicals, thermal energy. Mine contains toxic metals that, when released, interfere with environmental functionin...
