I want to study in depth of size reduction-sorting-classification-benefication-purification and extraction processes of metalic and industrial raw materials in a flow-sheet format.
You find below some reference but it depends to the field of mineral processing that you are interested.

1.Barry Wills' Mineral Processing Technology
2. Elements of Ore Dressing by Taggart
3.Principles of Mineral Processing by Maurice C. Fuerstenau
These books are good at fundamentals
Hi. I think it depends on the area you wanna be more detail. for instance, size reduction and sorting can be find in a reference better than flotation. I think its better to start with something like wills, then see which part you wanna be go through. You can also find Kelly book for kinetics and so on.
There are also some very nice references in Persian language you can read. If you want just let me know, ill propose to you.

for your information there is a separate CSIR laboratory in BHUVANESHWAR for mineral processing; please contacts the scientist for future work
Hello dear Arman,
As our colleagues mentioned earlier there are various mineral processing text book which it would be useful for your study; I can summarize following impressive books from my point of view:
- Wills, B. A., & Napier-Munn, T. (2015). Wills' mineral processing technology: an introduction to the practical aspects of ore treatment and mineral recovery. Butterworth-Heinemann.
- Fuerstenau, M. C. (2003), Principles of mineral processing. SME.
- Richard O. Burt, Chris Mills, 1984, Gravity Concentration Technology, Elsevier.
- Gupta & Yan. (2006), An Introduction to Mineral Processing Design and Operation, 1st Edition
- Drzymala, J. (2007). Mineral processing. Foundations of theory and practice of minerallurgy. Oficyna Wydawnicza PWr, Wrocław.
- Gaudin, A. M., Principles of mineral dressing, McGraw-Hill Book Company, Incorporated, 1939.
- Gaudin, A. M., Flotation, McGraw-Hill Book Company, Incorporated, 1932.
- Maurice C. Fuerstenau, J. D. Miller, Martin C. Kuhn, Chemistry of Flotation, Society of Mining Engineers of the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers, 1985.
For industrial minerals you can find a lot of thing including various flow-sheet in the following book:
- Edited by Jessica Elzea Kogel, 7th edition, Industrial Minerals & Rocks: Commodities, Markets, and Uses
But your question is still strange for me, can you clarify your question?
Regards,
Hamed
OMG!!! such a good topic you started Arman!
I would add "Modeling and Simulation of Mineral Processing Systems" by P. King
- Mineral Processing Flowsheets (Denver Modern Mineral Processing Flowsheets) Hardcover – 1962
This old book includes flowsheets for most of the minerals.

Barely you'll find P&IDs or PFDs in books. It is mostly simplified block diagram types of processes, what is published so far. Different authors also used for the sake of simplicity their own nomenclature. If you break it down to specific tasks such as grinding or milling circuits you will find more detailed diagrams. More specific are technical encyclopaedias (that seems to be the English plural for that) such as the Ullmann's.
