Description
Short description:
Learn to explain how raw ore is prepared for processing through structured process walkthroughs.
Long description:
This module provides an in-depth exploration of ore pre-treatment processes within mineral processing operations. Learners will analyse key techniques used to prepare raw ore for downstream extraction, including crushing, grinding, screening, and classification. Using interactive visuals and scenario-based explanations, participants will engage with operational workflows and equipment selection considerations. Through applied examples and knowledge checks, learners will evaluate how pre-treatment impacts efficiency, recovery rates, and overall plant performance. The module culminates in the ability to select and justify appropriate pre-treatment methods for different ore types. This module is positioned as a foundational unit within mineral processing and extractive metallurgy learning pathways.
