Mineral processing is the process of separating valuable minerals from their ores. This involves various techniques such as crushing, grinding, and screening to break down the ore and isolate the desired minerals. The goal is to increase the concentration of valuable materials while removing impurities. Once the minerals are separated, they may undergo further treatments like flotation or leaching to extract the desired elements. This process is essential in industries that rely on raw materials, such as mining, metallurgy, and construction, ensuring that resources are efficiently utilized and environmental impacts are minimized.
