| Abstract |
| The amenability and selection of the process for beneficiation
of ores are based on the mineralogy and texture of the
mineral, type of impurities present in it and the mode of
association of gangue and value minerals, their liberation
characteristics etc.
In order to identify the minerals and the association of
valuable ore mineral with the gangue, characterisation
studies of low grade magnesite of Parshad area, Udaipur
district, Rajasthan were undertaken. Petrography, physicochemical
characteristics, DTA, TGA, DTGA, vitrification
study and X-ray analysis were carried out to characterise
the magnesite.
The characterisation studies reveal that the magnesite
ore is mainly composed of magnesite with minor amounts
of quartz and iron. Other minerals, namely, calcite, sericite
and clinozoisite are present in traces. Based on the studies,
the pos.iible beneficiation route was identified. |
