“…However, with advances in mineral processing technology, the scale of beneficiation plants is growing rapidly, resulting in the generation of a considerable amount of wastewater. 1 Mineral processing wastewater (MPW) is produced via several routes, such as washing, comminution (i.e., crushing and grinding), and beneficiation and production of final tailings. However, most of the contaminants in MPW are introduced by beneficiation processes, particularly froth flotation.…”
