An Overview of Mineral Processing in China

摘要

The latest progress in mineral processing in China is described. It is also pointed out that the existing techno- logy can not meet the needs of economic development. The combined challenges of poor resources, economical benefits and environmental pollution issues require further research to upgrade the separation efficiency economically. The methods of mineral processing should play a more important pod in waste treatment such as wastewater treatment, the re- mediation of contaminated soil and the recycling of wastes. Biomineral technology will be utilised in the near future.
