It encompasses industrial processes that separate components from a mixture to produce purified streams, concentrates, or waste products. The concept is applied across mining, chemical processing, recycling, and environmental remediation, and relies on exploiting differences in physical properties such as density, magnetism, particle size, solubility, or chemical affinity.
Common methods fall into mechanical, physical-chemical, and chemical categories. Mechanical separation includes screening, washing, jigging, gravity
Applications include ore and mineral processing, coal preparation, and metal ore refining; recycling of metals, plastics,
Typical equipment used in eraldustööd includes screens and classifiers, hydrocyclones, jigs and dense-media separators, magnetic and
