Abstract
Minerals processing methods are based on the total information about morfostructural composition of row materials, obtained with the help of modern mineralogical and analytical methods. It was established that ore microstructure affects on the composition and morphology of the tailings minerals. Granular, crystalloblastic and metagranular ore microstructure minerals are characterized by a simple structure with plane edges, therefore they are easily revealed forming monomineral aggregates during the disintegration process. Corrosive, cataclastic, colloidal ore microstructure minerals are of the complex structure with ragged, jagged edges that leads to overgrinding and losses of non-ferrous metal minerals in tailings.
Keywords
Kies, current tailings, microstructure, minerals morphology, growth edges, mineralogical and analytical approaches.
