Disintegration as a method of mineral processing

One of the methods of preparing minerals for the beneficiation process is disintegration (opening, crushing and washing) of the mineral. Disintegration results in the destruction of low-strength aggregate compounds, thus freeing minerals from waste rock and clay inclusions. The disintegration process is applied to light- and medium-washable ores (sands).

Depending on the beneficiation technology and the characteristics of the feedstock, various disintegration methods are used.

– disintegration in an attrition machine;

– сentrifugal hydraulic disintegration;

– disintegration in a washing drum (scrubber-bottle).
