Methods of Ore Pretreatment for Comminution Energy Reduction
The main objective of pretreating ore is to create intergranular cracks so that the grinding operation can become easier, which can lead to a reduction in the grinding energy [22,23,24,25,26]. Among the pretreatment methods are thermal (via furnace, microwave, or radio frequency), chemical additives, electric, magnetic, ultrasonic, radio ...
