Summary
Students are acquainted with the theoretical foundations of physical processes of separation in the gravitational, magnetic and electric field, including optical separation. The possibilities of using individual separations techniques in the treatment and processing of mineral resources and recycling of waste, including types of treatment of selected types of raw materials, are analyzed.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Students are able to describe the basic operations of individual technological processes of separation, to describe and to explain the principle of work of individual types of machinery, to design a suitable method of separation and to make basic technological calculations.
