Abstract Beneficiation of low-grade ore is of critical importance in order to meet the growing demand for coal and mineral industries. But, low-grade ores require fine grinding to obtain the desired liberation of valuable minerals. As a result, production of fine particles makes the beneficiation process difficult through conventional gravity …
