STIMULATING ENERGY EFFECT ON THE REBELLIOUS MINERAL PROCESSING
The author describes experimental research findings on stimulation of ore preparation and concentration by energy treatment. The role and features of electrochemical and radiation treatment are shown. It is found that accelerated electron treatment softens mineral raw material, alters its flotation capacity and, if the mineral contains iron sulfides, amplifies its magnetic properties. The metal recovery growth reaches 27%, the processing efficiency increases 2.2 times.
