as to make separation between them. Such a phenomenon of making the mineral grains free from gangue in an ore is termed as liberation. This is practically carried out by size reduction performed by crushers and grinding mills. The ore lumps from the mines have the lump size of 10 - 100 cm while the individual minerals have grain sizes below 0.1 mm.

Comminution (i.e., the breaking of rock to facilitate the separation of ore minerals from waste) combines blasting (a unit process of mining) with crushing and grinding (processing steps). In-situ mining, which is treated under a separate heading in this chapter, is a special case that combines aspects of mining and processing but does not ...
