Mineral processing, mineral beneficiation, or upgradation involves handling three primary types of ROM material, which have been blasted, fragmented, and brought out from an in situ position. These materials can be used directly or by simple or complex processing and even by applying extractive metallurgy like hydrometallurgical or pyrometallurgical methods.

The term 'mineral beneficiation' is generally defined as a value adding process on minerals from extraction to refining to production of the final consumable good. The history of mineral beneficiation goes to as back as in the 10th century when minerals were discovered and were at times used as a medium of exchange before the

Mineral beneficiation is a process by which valuable constituents of an ore are concentrated by means of a physical separation process. As one of the initial steps of extractive metallurgy, the main purpose is to prepare the ore prior to downstream purification processes. The most common mineral beneficiation processes include: sample ...
