mineral dressing| Preparing a mineral ore for processing. Ore is seldom ready to be processed when it is mined; it often contains unwanted rock and dirt. Therefore it is usually crushed into uniform size and then separated from the dirt, or gangue. This may be done magnetically (some iron ores), by washing (gold), by treatment with chemicals (copper ores), or by flotation. |
