Increased efficiency of mineral product treatment using radiometric sorting

The relationship is derived for the calculation of resolution in the radiometric sorting of polymetallic ores. The results are presented of the radiometric dressing of tin ores from different deposits. A concentrate was obtained with a content of 0.9% Sn and the tin content in the waste products reduced to 0.07%. Three separation products were obtained: waste, concentrate and intermediate product. The results are presented of the radiometric sorting of sulfide, nickel and nickel-cobalt ores using radioresonance. The increased yield and quality of commercial products obtained by radiometric sorting is also demonstrated on samples of oxide manganese ore and Sn-W ore. (E.S.). 2 figs., 6 tabs
