The beneficiation studies of Suresh et al. (1981), concludes that low grade chromite ore of 16–25% Cr2O3, of Sitampundi area of India, cannot be upgraded by using tabling and flotation techniques, to meet the metallurgical grade due to the intimate association of iron in the lattice of chromite.

Beneficiation (Metallurgy)

Microbially induced mineral beneficiation involves three strategies, namely, selective bioleaching of the undesirable mineral from an ore or concentrate, selective flotation of the mineral, or selective dispersion/flocculation. Such microbially induced beneficiation will find applications in a number of areas such as: Desulfurization of coals ...

Phosphate Beneficiation

Beneficiation is the technical term describing the industrial process of mechanically separating minerals from each other. No chemical changes to the minerals are made at this point in the mining process. The phosphate ore, or "matrix" as it is called locally, contains three different mineral groups which have to be separated from each other.
