Satkinsk Deposit Magnesite Enrichment by an X-Ray Transmission Method

Industrial test approval is carried out in AO Magnezit Combine for Satkinsk magnesite separation technology using an x-ray transmission separator XSS(T). Favorable results are obtained with a “dry” enrichment method of x-ray transmission separation. A procedure is worked out for enriching magnesia raw material of different quality using magnesite (SiO2 content not more than 1.1%; CaO not more than 2.1%) corresponding to specifications for producing standard grades of basic composition objects.
