Mineral Characterization Using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM): A Review of the
Fundamentals, Advancements, and Research Directions Next Article in Journal Capability …

Scanning electron microscope-based automated mineralogy studies are readily associated
with quantitative results, providing one of the foundations of geometallurgical studies …

Most unit operations that separate or sort particle collectives according to a primary property–
like size or density–show the tendency to have their separation efficiency being influenced …

The recognition of lumpish coal and gangue of different coal sorts was conducted using X-
ray technique. Gas coal, fat coal and coking coal were used in this study, and the ash …

In recent years, several definitions of entropy have been proposed and used in the literature
to assess the efficiency of processes in the field of raw materials, including waste …

The current state of separation technology often neglects the multidimensional nature of real
particle systems, which are distributed not only in terms of size, but also in terms of other …

Mineral separation processes operate on properties of individual particle, which can
currently be quantified with 2D characterization techniques, namely 2D automated …

Following the proposal of deriving statistical entropy maps from multidimensional separation
curves, an extension is proposed to allow to compare the separation efficiency of various …

Practically all particle separation processes depend on more than one particulate property.
In the case of the industrially important froth flotation separation, these properties concern …

Modern analytical techniques used in the minerals processing industry can provide detailed
characterization data at the particle level. However, process models that make full use of this …
