A review on methods for liberating lithium from pegmatities
Meshram et al. (2014) presented a review of processing methods used to extract lithium from primary (ores and brines, sea water) and secondary (consumed batteries) resources up to 2013. However, their review focused only on popular techniques and overlooked less common treatments such as bioleaching and mechano-chemical methods.

An Overview of Beneficiation and Hydrometallurgical
In some cases, ore beneficiation is not considered necessary and/or economical. However, this does not mean value cannot be extracted from the ore via other methods, such as implementing a direct chemical decomposition of the mineral. Forgoing beneficiation techniques with some ores, such as eudialyte group minerals, may be …

Iron Ore Processing, General | SpringerLink
Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The ores are usually rich in iron oxides and vary in color from dark gray, bright yellow, deep purple, to rusty red. Iron ores occur in igneous, metamorphic (transformed), or sedimentary rocks in a variety of geologic environments.

22.4: Beneficiation
Beneficiation is any process which removes the gangue minerals from ore to produce a higher grade product, and a waste stream. Beneficiation may involve physical or chemical processes. Often, as in the case of panning for gold, the desired ore or metal is denser than the gangue. The latter can be suspended in a stream of water and flushed …
