Abstract

The Disruptive Role of Process Mineralogy in Geology and Mineral Processing Industry

Highlights

  • Quantitative automated mineralogy (QAM) using SEM based instrumentation such as QEMSCAN and TIMA-X is routinely applied to the study the ore deposits for geometallurgical and mineral processing

  • A large number of publications and case studies in the last two decades deal with applications of various forms of QAM in geology and geometallurgy, but more critical in the mineral processing industry

  • QAM can be used in the better understanding of the geometallurgy of the ores (e.g., [2]) which has developed over the past 20 years to deal with the variability in metal recovery encountered in large tonnage base metal deposits
