Abstract

Beneficiation test work on a Pb-Zn sample from Rampura-Agucha mines was taken up with a view to (i) explore the possibility of reducing the Zn losses in tailings from the present level of 2.4% to as low as possible, (ii) assess the reason for low grade Zn and Pb concentrates presently produced in the plant and (iii) evaluate the reason for very low Pb recovery values. This paper highlights the significant role played by Electron Probe Micro Analyzer (EPMA) in understanding the textural and compositional features of various minerals prior to the beneficiation test work and also in suggesting necessary alterations in the process parameters whilst mineral processing studies are underway
