Iron ore beneficiation: an overview

2.4. Beneficiation methods. Beneficiation is a process where ore is reduced in size and valuable minerals are separated from the gangue minerals. Separation of valuable minerals from gangue minerals can be efficiently achieved by taking advantage of the differences in physical, surface, and magnetic properties.Web
