Introduction back to ToC

It is an ontology for Sustainable and Circular Production of Critical Mineral Raw Materials and Mining Waste Facilities. It aims to represent the key concepts and relationships involved in the life cycle of Mining Waste Facilities (MWFs). By capturing this life cycle—from exploration and exploitation to closure—the ontology enables decision support and reasoning within the SCIMIN-CRM MWF domain.

MWEI BREF : Mineral processing (also beneficiation or benefication, ore dressing, mineral dressing, milling) Processes to produce marketable mineral products (e.g. concentrates) from mineral resources. This is usually carried out on the mine or quarry site, the plant being referred to as the mineral processing plant (mill or concentrator). .The essential purpose is to reduce the bulk of the ore, which must be transported to and processed by subsequent processes (e.g. smelting), by using methods to separate the valuable (desired) mineral(s) from the gangue. The marketable product of this is called concentrate, the remaining material is called extractive waste from mineral processing (e.g. tailings). Mineral processing includes various procedures that rely on the mineral's physical characteristics (i.e. particle size, density, magnetic properties, colour) or physico-chemical properties (surface tension, hydrophobicity, wettability).
