| Learning objectives | ||||
| Students will be introduce with machines and devices in various operations of mineral processing of mineral raw materials (crushing, screening, grinding, classification, gravity, magnetic, flotation and special concentration methods), as an continuation of the courses in the academic studies of the first cycle where the same machines and devices are studied. In addition to getting information about the constructive characteristics and principles of operation of machines and devices, students will also learn about the method of selection and calculation of these devices. | ||||
| Learning outcomes | ||||
| Students will be able for independent calculation and selection of machines and devices in various industrial operations of mineral processing of mineral raw materials. Also, students will be able to independently include in the operation of industrial plants for mineral processing and scientific and research work or to continue studies. | ||||
