Mineral processing of deep sea resources

富钴铁锰结壳/结核是未使用的资源，其商业潜力将取决于陆上矿山的开采和处理成本趋势。在这项研究中，物理分离方法，以集中有价值的成分从基质岩石进行了研究。测定了破碎产物的解离率，并采用RETAC跳汰机和先进跳汰机对细粒级进行了分选。提出了富钴铁锰结壳/结核的处理流程。

Cobalt-rich ferromanganese crust/nodules are unused resources where the commercial potential will depend on trends in mining and treatment costs of onshore mines. In this study physical separation methods to concentrate valuable components from the substrate rocks were investigated. Liberation ratios of crushed products were measured and separation of fine fraction was carried out using RETAC jig and advanced jig. Treatment flow chart of cobalt-rich ferromanganese crust/nodules was proposed.
