A mineral deposit normally contains at least two distinct types, or species, of mineral. In the ore mined and sent to the mill these are closely interlocked. Mineral processing starts by freeing the desired mineral or minerals, by comminution. This book is designed to describe the details of mining and processing of different minerals like alumina rich iron ore slimes, conversion of waste to a high valued product, lime stone, asbestos, coal beneficiation, gravity concentration processes to recover values from coal and ore fines and many more. The book is meant for every one who wants to study about the subject or wants to venture into the field of mineral processing.
