Hi all,
Just putting a couple of our latest articles on your radars regarding the electric pulse fragmentation of low grade or complex metal ores. As part of the Horizon 2020 FAME project, we put W-scheelite and Sn-Skarn ores into the SELFRAG Lab and continuous systems and shot them through with lightning, the result being an upgrading of target minerals in the fine fraction, and fracture generation in the coarse gangue, resulting in weakening.
The papers are available to download for free until 19th April from Minerals Engineering online.

2) Pilot-scale investigation of two Electric Pulse Fragmentation (EPF) approaches for the mineral processing of a low-grade cassiterite schist ore
