Course Objective |
Metals, alloys and various compounds are indispensable materials of today's technology. Metallic ores are an impure metal containing large amount gangue like sand and rocky material or non-economic minerals. The gangue minerals must be removed from the ore by enrichment processes based on the differences between the physical or chemical properties of the gangue and the ore before the extraction of the metal. Thus, the concentrate(s) obtained may be processed further through hydrometallurgical or pyrometallurgical processes to a metal product. In this course, the future of metallic ores, factors affecting the choice of the enrichment method, properties and specifications and physical, physicochemical and hydrometallurgical methods for beneficiation of some important metallic ores such as iron, chromite, manganese, copper, lead-zinc, antimony, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, aluminum, nickel, etc., and examples from mineral processing and hydrometallurgical plants are discussed. |
