Abstract

A thorteveitite ore beneficiation process which comprises comminuting the ore by wet autogenuous grinding to substantially liberate the thortveitite contained therein, and passing the comminuted ore through a nonuniform magnetic field to produce a concentrate and a tailing, the concentrate containing a substantially greater percentage of thortveitite than the ore.
