Application of the electric pulse disintegration method for obtaining a clean garnet concentrate from mica-garnet schist of West Keyvy

Abstract

The first to evaluate the possibility of obtaining clean garnet concentrate from the garnet-mica schist of West Keyvy using electric pulse disintegration materials method was shown. After electric pulse disintegration of garnet crystals and washing the garnet product from mica inclusions has managed to get 94% clean garnet fraction –0.5+0.25. There are good prospects for the technical implementation of the proposed technology. The KSC RAS has a rich practical experience in creating demonstration (pilot-industrial) facilities for both opening and extraction of coarse-grained minerals and grinding.
