MINERAL

PROCESSING

FOCUS

To maximize the recovery of mineral values from lean and low-grade resources as well as waste
generated from mineral-based industries by developing eco-friendly processes through basic and
applied research for accelerating industrial growth in the areas of bulk, strategic and precious
minerals.

CORE AREA EXPERTISE

• Process development from bench scale to pilot scale study for beneficiation of low and lean
grade ores and minerals through physical beneficiation and reduction roasting/reduction pro
cesses to enrich the mineral values
• Agglomeration of fine concentrate generated through the beneficiation process
• DRI and smelting of oxide ores (iron ore, chromite ore, manganese ore, and ilmenite ore)
• Simulation and optimization of the process of the existing mineral-based industries
• Equipment development for mineral-based industries
• Preparation of TEFR for mineral beneficiation process
• HRD in the area of Mineral Processing
