Microwave Mineral Testing 101: Your Questions Answered

Microwave treatment can reduce ore competency and improve mineral liberation leading to a coarser grind compared to untreated ores. Not only can this coarser grind size improve downstream processes such as gravity concentration, but it can also increase plant throughput and reduce energy consumption by up to 50%!

The effect of microwave radiation upon the processing of …

Froth flotation is dependent on the physico-chemical surface properties (in particular the hydrophobicity) of a mineral, as the process requires a mineral to be attached to air bubbles. When a microwave receptive ore is exposed to microwave radiation, changes may occur along the grain boundaries of the ore (Florek et al., 1996). The severity ...
