Conventional mineral dressing yields concentrates of the minerals of better than 90% purity. These can then be broken down ( opened ) by either acidic or alkaline attack, the latter being more usual nowadays. Details vary considerably since they depend on the ore being used and on the extent to which the metals are to be separated from each other, but the schemes...

The crude monazite sands are first concentrated by the general mechanical and physical treatments of mineral dressing. Brazilian monazite sands are processed mainly by the electromagnetic separation technique. The Indian monazite industry is essentially based on the recovery of rutile and ilmenite. Ilmenite has a magnetic susceptibility very close to that of monazite and thus direct electromagnetic separation cannot be applied to the Indian Travancore monazite sands.

Beneficiation, also known as mineral dressing or ore processing, may involve a variety of operations such as size reduction, size separation, mineral separation, dewatering, and thermal processing. Almost all phosphate ores require beneficiation to meet commercial specifications concerning particle size, moisture content, or chemical analyses.
