Abstract
Procedures for 3D mineral liberation analysis by X-ray micro CT (XMT) are presented and discussed including the construction of liberation-limited grade/recovery curves for specific feed materials. In this way, actual separation efficiencies can be compared to what might be expected for a perfect separation limited only by the extent of liberation. It is shown that 3D mineral liberation analysis based on XMT is preferred to 2D section analysis which overestimates the extent of liberation. By way of example, procedures and experimental results are presented and discussed for feed material in the case of phosphate rock flotation.
