Beneficiation in mining is primarily used to improve the purity of extracted minerals, making them suitable for industrial use.

Beneficiation is the process of raising the concentration of extracted minerals and eliminating impurities to improve their quality. In the mining sector, this is an essential stage in increasing the value of raw materials and their suitability for particular industrial uses. Depending on the mineral being treated, beneficiation methods may involve flotation, crushing, grinding, and gravity separation. Beneficiation, for instance, raises the iron content and lowers undesirable components like silica in iron ore mining. By increasing the efficiency of subsequent processing, this method lessens the environmental effects of raw materials and increases the economic viability of the minerals.
